This years kite
is the "harlequin/x-box". The
Harlequin box is the big brother of the Optic Box, which was first
designed in 1985. This version will be 1.25m. The design itself is
fairly simple and has been much copied around the world. Each
panel could be decorated to make a much more complex looking
design but the simple three colour graphic still looks very
elegant in the sky.
The Harlequin is a very simple to fly in a variety of winds.
This kit will also contain an extra spar (and rigging) to make it
fly as an x-box. The
cost of the 1.25m kit is £100. A smaller kit for a 1m kite will
also be available at £75.
The kit contains pre-cut
kite (colours of your choice), spars and full printed instructions as well
as hands on help on the day. As with previous years it will be a one day
workshop where the kite will be finished and flown by the end of the day
although the room will be available for the weekend. Also as with previous
years the workshop should be on Saturday but weather could move it to
Sunday if required. In the Castle again this year. A big thank you to
Margam Park for allowing us to use their facilities.
