Melges 24 kite

Here are some pictures from this last Saturday's Rum Run race in Seattle. This is the Melges 24 kite I borrowed to see how it would fit on my Ericson 27. It worked great. No problems with the luff length or foot. The race called for a reaching leg, so it was really nice to see how this flatter A-sail performed. We were definately faster on this reach with the Melges A-sail than my normal .75oz A-sail.
