Didn't Seasmik made some good size kite (11.5 m2 or so probably the same
range as a 15 LEI)?
With some simple integrated bridle system, we may be able to make a
fully sheet out LEI...
The other advantage of a fully sheet out kite is that if you can sheet
out 100% then you don't need a safety leash as your front lines IS the
safety leash (full time too).
