Reef, that was a beautiful kite, really like the colors. I've always wanted one of Dan's deltas myself. I know you have somting in-coming, but just wondering if you pled your case to Dan (or directed him here) if he would just sell you a new sail?
I'm sure I'm not the only person here who has done this; but one time I was able to lift a kite out of a tree by flying another of my kites under the first string and lifting it. Of course that too was pretty risky and I could have lost both...but it worked. Probably pushing my luck to try it ever again.
