Thats good to hear, as ive had her out in 20+ knotts of wind rigged as sloop rigged 2 up with a big total crew weight (190 kg) through chop with the rig setup tight to test what she could take and she held up well (we actually broke a few rivets on the centre fore/aft beam when tacking as we both had all out weight on it at the same time when we crossed over, turned out some of the rivets werent stainless marine rivets, fixed that in a hurry).

So from that im feeling more confident that she can handle a kite, at least in the winds im currently game enough to try flying it in, 10knts and under, for now anyway....

Also Drew, id love to come down to cleveland after you get you mossie and have a race down there with you, having only raced against nacra's taipains maris etc its hard to gauge how well im sailing my mossie without another mossie to match it against, plus its fun to race with boats of the same class. Hopefully we can kick some of those nacras, taipan, A Class sailors of their high horses and at the very least keep them looking nervously over their shoulders.
