Hi Gary
Sorry there wasn't anything stand offish in my post, if it came across that way, just relaying the message I recieved a couple days ago from Marcus, which said with or without kites.
Theres probably at least 6 that I know of that would sail without, maybe a couple more if we mustered them up.
For those that haven't been to Portland, its a really nice place to sail and hang out, nice waters, which is probably why they chose it.
You could find some photos of the harbour through Google to have a look.
Regards
