Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Anyone lost a red kite up the Hen and Chicks way or north of? Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Not that I know of KM. Do I need to check inside my boat? Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I might have, is it in one peice & would it fit a Birdsall 37? Actually, before I go down that track, has it caused any damage to someone else just floating around out there Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Is there a boat attached?? Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Lots of traffic down the coast today according to the missus, obviously boats clearing out of the Bay before the arrival of the weekly tropical low. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Depends if its about the size of a farr 1020 kite and will slip onto my SR quite nicely KM, Ifnot then a frac gennaker, Not sure ive lost either of them, but sure do miss having a good one! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well it's all your if you want it. Free to a good home and I'm told it appears reasonably new. But be aware it was dragged up yesterday arvo by a fishing trawler 1/2 between Hen n Chicks and Little Barrier, is totally trashed and may contain the odd snapper. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just thought now: surely 98% of kites these days would have a sail number on them? Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm your really selling the idea on me KM, Pity it got trashed! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sure is a shame it's buggered. I was just interested to see if anyone would own up Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Gale Force cut one free during the coastal around there. Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks like the Red Kite was not the only thing ditched http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/01/24/v ... piano.html Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 probably too far south but flotsome from Tigre? Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Too far south and No Red Kites... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Think Gale Force cut away the Zero. Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 GF cut away a red nylon A7 that got wrapped around its appendages - dont think it had a sail number Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 GF cut away a red nylon A7 that got wrapped around its appendages - dont think it had a sail number That might just be it then, how funny. They said in Russell that they had the thing wrapped around the appendages and had to cut it free. It was new or near new too. Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It was new or near new too If its the same one, it sounds a little second hand now. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It was new or near new too If its the same one, it sounds a little second hand now. I think they should be made to use it. Anything to put the brakes on those guys! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It isn't that old fondling the cloth and I very much doubt it's been floating around since the CC or even longer than a month. It has some stains and the like but wouldn't you if you just had a tonne of fish sitting on your face I'm guessing it was off something 35-40ft odd looking at the size. Twas a kite knot a genny but now destined to be a drop cloth, bar one bit which is now a new protest flag. Lets see some blind RC member say he can't see this one Link to post Share on other sites
