Regardless, I'd recommend some foot straps where ever you happen to be standing...


Agreed. When I was sailing a LOT;; i could gybe from the wire in a similar way to the MPS guys do.

Start to bear off, hull comes towards you; pick yourself up; step on hull; keep bearing off; under boom; change hands with tiller, re-sheet kite, mis trapeze handle on the way out and fall off the other side!!!!!!

Me too for a time. a few times I came ashore and tied to drain the hulls because I was sure that there must have been a couple of buckets of water slopping about in each!
