Cervia would have ended today and the lilac bush in the Hackney garden here has begun to end its glorious spring show.  Still haven’t started the Tetraeder exercise but the weather has not been great this last week.

The 1992 Rev 1 re-make project is now in hand.  Martin Lester will sew the sails and Revolution will finish them as has been our practice.  They may be finished in time for any surviving Autumn events but probably will only really get used next year.  Something to look forward to, anyway.  It is quite likely that we will also get the fourth Rokkaku made as well, to complete the set.  Not sure that my sewing skills are up to that yet so probably get ‘someone else’ to do it!

I have laid off the JMH kite repair works in the last few weeks and intend to pick up on that soon hoping for a slight lifting of restrictions over the summer.  One issue that I have encountered is figuring out how to remember what needs to be done and to keep track in some way.  Getting spares organised and ‘in place’ is also needing further attention.  That is a useful reminder that JC may also have some Rev SLE spares that could be very useful for some of the JMH kites, notably the early 7m Delta which needs replacement for broken bamboo spars.
