Downwind, got it. Probably not as easy as it sounds, especially if the crew is separated (said Captain Obvious)...

Yep, downwind. The flogging alone ( in normal or better breeze) of the kite up wind will flip you with no sheet tension.You definitely need more than 2 hands. That's one of the main reasons I don't like racing in the same start as singlehanded spin boats.
