:: 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,

:: :: I'm lookig for a shy kite...used preferable. I'm not
:: :: sure what size to look for. Anyone done this? My goal is
:: :: to have a bullet proof kite I can fly when all hell
:: :: breaks loose. Last weekend I sailed single-handed in the
:: :: Rites of Spring Race. When I put the kite up at Harding
:: :: in 20 knots of wind, well you can guess what happened. I
:: :: was silly enough to try it again closer to Berkeley
:: :: Circle...same thing, knocked on my butt.

:: :: Size? Weight? (1.5 oz?)
