I noticed that they also threw the hotstick back in the Hans Wallen Tornado video. I have mimicked that on several occasions and it works well. I don't fly a kite on my boat mainly due to budget constraints. I still have a hard time figuring out how it settles a boat down. It seems it will still make you PP, just a few knots faster when you fly over the bridle. I am a simpleton when it comes to physics so I will just do the "I don't know how it settles the boat, but I'll take your word for it" mentality. I've never even been on a kite flying boat yet. Anyone need crew in Panama City?
