Simon, I think it might just be the angle of the photo....

Here's the reverse view:



I suspect that some of it is that Anne doesn't have enough 'grunt' to be able to really sheet the kite enough for reaching. We've also been playing around with luff length/hoist height and since this photo was taken we've taken another couple of inches of slack out of the luff which changed the flying shape quite a bit.

Grant Piggott built this kite for me based on the latest T spins. It's very different to the Landy spins that I've been using but seems to have loads of power and be quite stable.
