Q. Can I use it on a short-handed/single handed boat?

A. Outleader kites are designed for fully crewed boats. Their ability to fly without specialized custom winches and additional gear for [color:"red"] launch/recovery relies on the ability of the crew to handle 3 winches [/color] . On the other hand, we are learning tips and tricks to fly on fewer winches, and even on no winches at all. Under some conditions we fly with a single crew plus the helmsman. We are learning as much from our customers as we teach them. KiteShip Corporation represents OutLeader [color:"red"] kites as solutions for fully crewed boats. [/color]

This is from the FAQ page of the www.kiteship.com web site.

Surely this is the killer blow for these kites on a beachcat at the moment.
