Awsome stuff....

But why is the spinnaker pole so high. Looks to me that you could pull it down a good meter. DOes the jib sheet from the tramp or self tacker on the beam. Looks to me that the jib needs to come down also. Add a 400mm to 500 mm strop on the bottom of the bridle like the Ts and bring the foot of the jib lower.

???????????


Agreed Stephen. This video was shot on my second outing and still didn't have the proder to push the jib down at that stage. You'll be happy to know the pole tip is about 500mm lower now and the jib and kite sit much better.

On the subject of T-Foils. I recently did a long distance race without them. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
T-Foils can make you forget how tough a cat can be downhill in breezy conditions. Couldn't power up at all and spent most of the downwind legs running deep and slow. Not to mention a couple of pitchpoles when reaching.
