Hi Rolf,

thanks for supplying link to photo's hadn't caught up with that yet. I think photo was taken between races on sat. in a lull when I was trying to convince myself I could handle what were very trying conditions. Did spend a lot of time near 49ers when racing up and downwind. Managed to get half a leg ahead on one downwind against a mid fleet 49er, in one of my rare good runs over the weekend.

I think I had 6 capsizes on Sat. lost count exactly. But after you have seen photo's of Altered nosediving, I must tell you none where from nosedives. All where over sideways with kite up mainly out of gybes. Am keeping main on hard stops nosediving . But I now remember, tipping sideways out of gybes is what use to happen when I started sailing with kite.

So what do you guys do that pull main in hard with kite up when you gybe in 25kts.?

Regards Gary.
