yes, the Tek Kat showed up.
no road transport problems - split down on the trailer, Tornado style
took maybe two hours to fully rig.
went like a train in the light stuff
mast snapped before wind really got up, though. No pitchpole or gust, but a design error in the mast, and the lay-up is not quite right yet. Other than that - cant fault it.
Yes, it is new, it's different, and may not beat 'everything' out there, but it is challenging pre-conceived notions, trying something new, and we need people like this out there.
Come and take on the Monster next time.
I didn't get a bite in this year, but i will be waiting for you in August 2009!
This is a real challenge. Not everyone can drive home and say they beat the Monster!
Who's all talk, and who is going to join in next time?!
