@mitchellsailor maybe because alot of clubs dont allow cats

[boltonmerlin]

@mitchellsailor the rudder would have not made a difference here me thinks, anyway look ok, cheap and go well.. Not for me but the design onviously works.. :)

[mitchellsailor]

EPIC FAIL comes to mind. why sail a useless multihull with one hopeless rudder so it can be classified a mono?

[l410meo]

I thought about getting one of these, but as I sail on the sea (often have big waves) it looks like the Vortex's tendency to dig its bows and flip would make it un-suitable for sailing in rough coastal water. Any comments from people who have done this ????? otherwise it looks great fun

Thanks

That was me in the early capsize. F---ing epic wasn't quite the thought that crossed my mind at the time ;-)

[killerroo62]

that cartwheel and the start was fucking epic

[MrCubely]

you don't have to, it's time consuming if you do. You should uncleat the kite though, take some power out of it.

[andrewpoophead]

you don't really have to

[ollylegg]

nice, when you capsize with the kite up are you ment to take it down before righting the boat again???
