btw - what is the most stable / friendly arc ? i am planning some experiments related to parakiting. thus the kite should have MAX stability - so to
speak the complementary arc to the scorpion ;-)
(and it should be huge. is the synergy 24 the only arc that was built having > 20 sqm ?)

I would say the venom would be the best stability arc if performance is considered. Not sure if the Synergy gave up any stability but would imagine
there was an increase in performance from the venom.

I get how the rigging works I just don't exactly see how the kite was assisting propulsion ? Was the boat running under kite power when it was parked
off to the side? Wouldn't it be hard to keep from running downwind?
