TimW 1 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Wild Thing by the Troggs, You make everything groovy. Groovy colours are Green Purple and Orange, you can use any combination if they are bright and it will work ! Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 white - easy care - but boring. You gonna stick with the wing mast? Yeah, all logic points to white. But I feel like a colour, not green or metallic. My cherub was green and I had a metallic starling. Was thinking yellow, similar to Jive Talking. Anything but the stripes....! For the moment I will keep the wing but it's moving 250mm aft, square top and a shorter boom on the main. The wing is cool, and fast but lacks the ability to bend and de-power up wind. So when normal rigs cranked on backstay we'd have to reef. My current main was a hand me down from Blue Dude so the Dude's rig wasn't as big as people thought. Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sure, WT and the Dude both have larger rigs, but so does RnB. Actually RnB has a pretty tall rig but not much main area. Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sure, I've got the scaffold and shrink wrap tent going up in the back yard this weekend, so with that up the progress should ramp up a bit! I want to have her sailing again before the end of summer. Possibly swap a new keel in before the winter series. See how I go.... Link to post Share on other sites
BelowPAR 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I dont know much about the 8.4s, how similar/different are they all? Kinda seems like they are of piedy style, all the same but not really the same. That transoms looking cool! Paint colour is easy... depends what coloured kite ya have, or the logo colour of someone who wants to sponsor you a new one.. Link to post Share on other sites
