Re: Let's go fly a kite!

OK, Ill take a shot at this one as I (currently) am far more a kite guy than a sailing guy.

Re: Just starting out - Please Advise

Ann, thank you for your thoughts on that list. I don't have an answer if the lines run to the cockpit, will ask that when I talk to them.

Re: Just starting out - Please Advise
