sanctuarysam will become famous soon enough
i love my asymm

have both symmetrical and asymm kites..
i can't say enough about how great it is to have one available on those rare light air summer days on the chesapeake.
i have parrel beads and an atn sock to make deployment and retrieval an easy maneuver..even short handed (just me and the colonel...)
use a tackline run back to the cockpit and also can use the spinnaker pole as a sprit...
North Sails has a great vid series to see how to string the beast.
