So it`s true ....
The Auzzies ARE crazy !!

Gary, we`ve also hoisted the kite in marginal conditions, but we`re sailing sloop, so there`s more weight on the boat, more hands on deck when it gets gnarly. I find sailing sloop I have much more control, when solo I struggle with the lack of weight on the boat in strong breeze.
You guys must have developed the technique to sail in breeze solo, something we don`t practice often.
I`d love to have seen the look on the Tiger`s sailors faces when you sailed past them, how do you shape upwind against them ?
