Ok, I've had my first serious race using the kite and I have some issues to sort, the most urgent being to keep the boat tracking while hoisting and retrieving. Although I haven't tried it, sitting on the tiller extension doesn't appear to be an option as I don't believe I can reach the halyard and cleat it from such a position. I may be wrong, and dowsing could be a possibility but not hoisting. Has anyone ever tried a shock cord [bungey] loaded rudder centering setup?
It's been done, but not a good idea IMO because if you fall off then the boat sails away.
When you say you cannot reach the halyard and cleat from this postition, how come ? (maybe there is not enough slack in the system ?
