Rolf (hello),

- I want a kite to be cut this way : Foot to one half luff height flat as a code zero ; from this point to the head - full to maximize the vertical component of the force (this is what I kept trying to achieve by moving my block to kite clew into the tramp). I don't want a kite that goes limp when I foot because it's too full to keep the flow across lee and windward surfaces.The boat and I are about 370lbs. - i'm not worrieed about a kite w/ grunt - gimme flat so I can bear away without the kite bagging backward.

- Wouter (hello) - I think I probably still have more prebend in my mast than anyone sailing an F16 solo. Maybe this is why i'm afraid of my mast
bending w/ the kite (less diamonds support w/ more spreader rake).
