Rumour has it that a popular sailmaker is developing a kite sail like this one

Apparently some new boats are being set up to accomodate it. The theory is you fly the kite high above the boat - and get the wind the other people cannot get. This could totally change river sailing as we know it. I think we should ban it.

I think we should stick it into the rules as legal - I'll bet they don't have top battens.
Would Racing Finish be able to do us a carbon one?
