Totally agree when its all going to plan, as those from our club with the 21sq metre kite on their Hobie 16's will testify, but its when it all goes a little bit wrong,the boats with that little bit of extra volume up front such as most F16's seem to now have, seem to survive. I'm not sure the A would.

Mind you the guy from Sweden with the modded Marstrom seems to have a ball. I guess there is only one way of finding out, give it a go.
