All this spinnaker shape talk got me thinking about my Kite flying. I admit to being timid in the bigger gust days. I am wondering about the proper response to the fill and collapse situation.
I imagine some of this comes from the sudden acceleration as the spin powers up and you end up with a rapid rotation of the apparent wind. But even under normal circumstances what is the reponse to a spinnaker collapse? Does one adjust the spinnaker trim? Alter the boats heading? Both at the same time?
