"Having looked at the kites and heard the favorable
reports, I am happy to endorse them for use on my designs at
the owners discretion. I think they may have potential, particularly
for longer offshore passages and even possibly for righting a boat."
"Mainstream accounts for (the loft) have come from
unlikely sources. Kiteship has been a main source of sales. So
much so, that this product has been allocated its own sailmakers and
section of the sail loft. OutLeaders are becoming the future of downwind
performance sailing and sales have far exceeded original budgets."
"...they drove Alacrity faster than expected.
The 90 sq. m. (about 35% of my usual downwind sail area) drove us at
a steady 18-20 and peaked out at 25.9 knots in a 15-18 knot breeze broad
reaching. This is within a knot or so of where my full rig would run." |
