-5- Team work that is required
I really enjoy the team work and coordination that the kite requires. In the past the skipper could sail the boat and tell any unexperienced crew when to pull on the jib sheet or not. With the spinnaker the crew is 60 % of the final result. If you don't connect with him or her then you will not get the maximum out of the boat and your placings will show this. However when you start working together like skiffies you can propel the boat to great performance. I like this alot.
Ahh, yes. A great deal of teamwork is needed, and the crew needs to understand the kite and how the boat is sailed.
Taking a new crew out is hard on the skipper tough, as he constantly needs to remind himself not to correct the new crew every 2-4 seconds. Every 30 seconds is the limit, or else the crew will be very frustrated
