I did manage to catch the online Kitemakers Conference contribution from Frank Sazama on Saturday afternoon and later the end of Scott Skinner’s session. Interesting to catch technical details in both cases and also to wonder about the documentation of the Jørgen Møller Hansen and Peter Malinski kites restoration process. I think that I have probably recorded just about enough of the process to date.
I think that we should be able to fly kites next Sunday but cannot find any clear indications yet that it really will be possible. <Edit:- 28th is still under lockdown which ends on 29th March>
I have measured out the ripstop for the Malinski fuzzy tails and have decided how to make up a cutting template for cuts at every 1.5cm of 4cm.
The 1992 ‘not zen’ project is now fully under way. Martin Lester is sewing twelve sails which should be completed by the end of May. We'll hope to have ten of them back in the UK after Revolution finish them at the end of June. Two will be going directly to a good home in Canada!
Some of the team are provisionally booked in to accommodation for the Shropshire Kite Festival if it can go ahead in the middle of July.
