George,

Sorry no (used) shykite for sale, but I highly recommend one if you are doing any ocean sailing. We have a 1.5 oz shykite that we used several times on Farallone races as well as trips to Santa Barbara. It is great to put up when it is blowing 25+. The boat is real stable and nothing is going to get through that thing. I think the mast would come down before the kite would blow out.

I can get you a new kite if you are interested. Let me know.

Cheers, Jason
