Thanks for the positive comments om the Agilus build.
Hopefully these will work now- rough and ready but it gives an idea of the potential

downunder - I had previously only made stunt kites and put patches on my trousers, However as part of my mid-life crisis I am being an `apprentice` at a sail loft for a day a week (thank you Ian Ross at RB Sails in Hayle Cornwall) - I love it - and am fortunate to have an on experienced sail maker to advise on the tricky stuff. So it has been a great skills builder - the next one will take a quarter of the time, and I think Karsten probably is right at 80 hours (including a lot of figuring it out time). No idea of cost as it was pretty much made from leftovers - we only used low grade material on this build - now that I know it can be done I will get some quality fabric for the next one. Depends how you value your time and sense of achievement as to whether a Gong is a better deal!
Karsten the wind has been terrible here so only had one hydrofoil session so far - I will give you some definitive feedback when I have had a few more hours flight time, but initially I think we may need to play a little with the bridling and the LE `elbow`? Really missing not having a sewing project on the go!!
cheers
