Having scrutinised the photo's for an unhealthy amount of time , i) how have you run the kite downhaul ii) where have you attached the end of the snuffer iii) two rachet blocks for each kite sheet (you poof) wont this be annoying in light winds iv) what's your mainsheet purchase v) are there going to be any more photo's/sailing reports.
I will be checking the Grafham website over the Christmas period for your results!!( I can't bear to watch the Wizard of Oz again)
i, Kite dowhaul. There is a missing eye on the front beam on the same side as the jib cleats. The whole thing runs on the tramp.
ii, end of the snuffler is tied to the Dolphin striker post
iii, they are both Ratchamtics so they are great for both light and heavy wind - but I have not tuned them yet.
iv, Currently 7:1, considering 8:1
v, Yes and yes. Up at the club tomorrow for a bit more fiddling (drop the pole lower among them) and then sailing - forcaset is only 11mph, I'd like some more.
As for results at the GGP, could be interesting as this will be my first race!
