Hi Mike
Thanks for your positive and unbiased views about the Blade. I noted with interest your comment about the Spi sheeting issue. I have had adjustable tracks since I bought my Stealth but do the total opposite adjustments i.e windy fully forward, light fully back. My reasoning behind this is that the way you do it on your T is exactly what all the books tell you to do for the Jib, Genoa for good upwind performance = speed and height. So when flying a kite downwind you still want speed but also depth. Fully forward when it's windy because you can sail lower without decreasing speed and right back when it's light as you don't want to bear up too much for speed and make the wind do too much work over the sail. These are the main reasons why I differ. Have a little think about my technique and I'm sure you'll understand where I'm coming from. If you still disagree then that's probably why manufacturers don't bother with spi sheet tracks <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
