12 meter lines preferred for racing

Postby cglazier » Sat Nov 26, 2016 10:48 pm

Interesting interview today with Daniela and Ricky at the hydrofoil pro tour where it seems they have found short lines work best. (Be reminded that the bridle on a foil kite is an additional 5 meters or more.)
Note that todays race was run in about 11 knots of wind.
Ricky says that 18 months ago everyone was using 23 meter lines but times have changed.
