Thanks guys, good answers though I'm a bit embarased to say that some are fairly obvious.
Yes I have a snuffer and the retrieval lines runs under the tramp. Fairly obvious process.
I like the plastic tube idea. Would work for luff tension also.

Jibe sounds easy on paper I just need to practice. I'm a bit nervous as the last time I raced in 20knots I was knocked over on the jibe. Not sure why exactly but I know it would have been more spectacular with a kite up. I'm think of bearing away and easing the traveller before the jibe just to soften the process a bit. Early on at least.

Ok so off the wind it's similar to the way I go down now, i.e. deeper for light conditions shallower when it's heavier.
And we're talking about bearing away on stb into the bottom mark, dowse the kite, jibe and harden up for the work or I guess you can jibe and then dowse instead of re-setting the spi. Even on port I guess you could bear away, dowse then harden up.

If I'm not on the boat early after a capsize the bugger turns upside down, a situation I have nightmares about. It doesn't happen often but I'm expecting a few ditches with the kite.
I need a better righting rope setup too I think. Mine is a bit primitive, basically a rope tied to the DS post and stowed in a bag under the tramp. I toss it over the upper hull and hook it's loop onto my harness. Works ok except when tossing it, I tend to weight up the overbalance point and the mast sinks.

Now I'm thinking about a turning block under the tramp on a bungie with maybe a limit cord.
Thanks again,
Bern
