hello kite world after flying my kite the other day i found when packing away that the top of the line were attatched to kite that loop is half its size how has this happend and what should i do about it:puzzled:

It sounds like your sleeve/knot may have slipped on that line. If the line is sleeved you can un-tie the knot and then re-tie the sleeved line in the proper place once again. Most sleeved lines are tied off with a single overhand knot and although this usually is more than sufficient to hold, I prefer to tie a second overhand knot right next to the first just to make sure that the sleeve does not slip on the line. Remember that each knot you put in your sleeve will shorten your line about 1/4" so if you add a knot on one line you will want to add the same knot on the others so they will be equal length.

If your line is not sleeved then I would suggest sleeving it. Spectra line is naturally slippery and can even have a wax-like coating added to increase the slipperieness of the line. Usually a knot on specra line will slip or break as knots on spectra can reduce the strength of the line by as much as 50%. Sleeving the spectra line with a dyneema sleeve will help reduce the amount of strength loss with the knot and will also help keep the line from slipping through the knot.

Hope this helps.

no it is sleeved, i will have ago of getting it undone
