Topic : New Rules Spinnaker-Any Good?

Hi all,
I am looking for a decent Kite for my plastic NSM, would this be any good? Looks to be in good nick. Also, what size poles would I need to use?

I'm tempted to say that if it's got numbers on it it's old size but the leech length is correct for new rules assuming his tape measure is reliable. Maybe there was an overlap between current size and binning numbers?

Oh and you'll want current length poles if it falls inti either "big" catergory!

I think I might have one of these too, mine is considerably bigger than the old kite flown from 1.8 m poles and a fair bit smaller than my recently purchased full size kite. It makes a great training or big wind kite for when the crew is feeling "twitchy" it might be worth keeping an eye on especialy if your a parent and child team, might end up bidding against me though! A smaller kite is much faster and safer than no kite.
