Hi everybody,

I am Ingo, German, but migrated to Goa, India , some years back as my wife is from here. Brought my 24 ft keel yacht, which I had purchased shortly before, to learn first sailing lessons, with us(by cargo, not sailing). 3 years back, when I was preparing it for the coming season and a friend asked me, to help him launch his windsurf kite, I started to develop an idea for a heeling free kite rig, which I like to start presenting to public now. Have build a prototype based on a 32kg kayak which I usually power with a 21sqm surfkite. Have uploaded a video of this to youtube and like to present and discuss this here, that's the main reason why I joined this forum.
Here is the link:

Will open a separate thread for this as well as it probably won't get too much attention in this thread.
