Thanks mate. That is what I am after
For hoisting and dropping the kite, used to stay on my knees near the back of the tramp facing forward and steer with my feet on the crossbar. Would drop the traveller down too.
Very interesting. I was thinking about kneeling on the tramp facing sideways and sticking the tiller extension between my calf / hamstring. Will give your method a try as it will allow for stearing instead of just holding the tiller.
For gybing, have both sheets in the one hand. Hard to explain, but I would hold it so the old sheet was easy to flick out and then you can pull through on the new sheet as you gybe. By using this technique I could keep the old sheet tight going into the gybe and I wouldn't have to pull too much for the new sheet. As you crossed over the tramp through the gybe you could easy change over hands too.
Both sheets in one hand was what I was thinking, but good advice about having the old sheet possitioned to easily flick out. Better to learn from those who have already gone through the newbie process, then to slowly pick up things through trial and error.
