There was very little wind forecast for today and there really wasn’t much more than an occasional breath!

We might have flown Zens but as showers were more likely later we set about pulling out the 23 sails of the lower half of the Peter Malinski Hexagonal Kite Train in order to fit the missing sail and attend to the broken central bridles.

We took the precaution of securing the top lines at both ends.  At one point a small gust from the side set the whole train rolling and with the available sail area (about 24 square metres) one could sense something of the power of the train.

There were a couple of light showers while we were working and when all was done we waited a while for the sails to dry before stacking and securing all 24 sails.

As it was then past our usual session end time we did not get to fly the Zens.
