Dan,
Correction, I actually modified how I fix the pole on the deck and not the actual kite. The M24 kite has a long luff and the pole on the deck helps the luff curve. I rivited a ring on the mast at deck level, and made a padded clamp bolted to the headstay tang/tack hole. I beleive the kite is a little smaller than class kites in area. FYI there are 2 M24 kites. I have the runner
Very easy to fly, but not necessarily faster. I agree with Russ a reacher like a 3A should have a good nich in distance races. May go 3S instaed b/c of PHRF hit. The Friction Loss guys seemed to like their 3S as well.
