I sail on a loch in Scotland and the club courses usually weave their way across the loch and inevitably there will be a need to drop the kite on starboard. So far I've failed pretty miserably at doing this with the kite plummeting like a brick into the water and stopping the boat dead. Does anybody...

Thanks for all the replies. I now have AC282 and starting to get to grips with my swimming again

Does anybody have a basic tuning guide for a Razorback AC or any advice they can give? I've bought AC282 and while I think it's been set up by Rob for rake and rig tension I'm interested in having a guide to hand on the other stuff across the wind ranges like self tacking jib car position, jib sheet...

I’ve just bought GBR 184 at the weekend and have amazed myself slightly in that I managed to sail her on Sunday fairly successfully in a reasonable bit of breeze. I was expecting that since it is about 11 years since I last sailed a canoe I was going to be doing a lot of swimming, but it seems it re...

Thanks everyone who read this, but I'm going to have to delay buying an AC [house extension costs just got bigger!]
Hopefully in a few months.....
