Etienne and Veronique Veyres put a small bamboo and paper kite into the Cervia auction which I bought. Pauline and Frances very kindly agreed to transport it back to the UK and Basingstoke was the earliest venue where we could meet so today we didn’t fly on Blackheath but arrived at the Basingstoke event just before midday.

There was a light variable breeze and as there was no designated space apart from the demonstration arena we limited our flying efforts to a short session with CR sails with race spars. I immediately recognized the need for longer handles, if not longer lines, there was not ‘enough’ reverse for ‘gliding downwind’. We were flying our standard 120ft lines with the usual handles for 1.5 sails.

The next two weekends are short ones for me, Saturday working, but I am sure that we will get to Blackheath as usual…
