It's good to know if you plan to attend. The island of Fano is most suitable for kite flying, 18 km of beach, where it's officially allowed to drive by a car. The largest I saw was a 16+ meters long heavy truck. Even the smaller ones offered good anchoring solutions. There were thousands of kites in the air for four days. When the beach got empty, the sky above the camping sites got their decoration. I heard a rumor, Peter Lynn was there; so I "believe" it was his Gecco (?) I saw... But more familiar to rec.kites are: Peter Ulfheden (Sweden) Stein Hjelland (Norway) Esben Collstrup (Denmark) Bernhard Malle (Germany) who all, I met on Fano - 1st time since we got to know each other on the net. Our meeting was very successfull and it's expected n@r.k will meet again next year. We had a lot of flying in firm-to-heavy winds. We had a stunt kite lab, a kite book lab (when it was raining), a beer lab (when we were too tired to fly anymore) and a fun lab (when the beer was half finished). All of n@r.k members had a small banner with "n@r.k" and colors from national flags. The banners were easy to locate on the camping site and on the beach. Peter will upload n@r.k family portrait to ftp.hawaii.edu as soon as it's ready. Smooth Winds Simo Salanne (n@r.k.Finland) Simo.Salanne@csc.fi P.S. Have we done "history"? Any other (international) "teams" developed from rec.kites?

Jan, watch for posters with rec.kites logo for more information (e.g. in riding hall, when the auction begins on Friday). Or come to Ro-Land camping site TV-room one hour after the auction has begun... Three days and counting.
