Hey Sailors,
What kind of "big kite" you asking about?
Peter Lynn in New Zealand has built a 12,500 s/f single-line Manta Ray show kite.
He currently holds the record with 3 of the 10,000 s/f Flag Kites - U.S.A. Flag, the Kuwait Flag, and the Japanese Dancing Rabbit (?) Flag.
I believe those are larger than the kites used to haul transport ships.
Like that?

I think Cabrinha made a 50 sq m inflatable once. And PL made a very large Synergy as well, like 50m as well. 24m PL Phantom II might be the largest
production kite for traction sports available right now.
