Garry Point - Do art and windsport mix?


Here is alink to a picture of the "art". It will be at the top of a little hill in the middle of our longest tack. It is 4.5m (~15ft) in diameter. It is called Windwave. It is in the prime location for ground handling paragliders.
Article
Maybe this should be posted in the Land Access forum.
S:no:



Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

Well hopefully it'll only be there for 2 years - to be auctioned off in 2011. Should roll nicely though - get to work on the bolts holding in on the foundation :evil:



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

At least it will be auctioned off in 2011 :thumbup: and the shape is pretty kite friendly. We need something to make our runs interesting - Calgary Parks erected soccer goalposts all over the closest field I had. Now I had to dodge dog poop and the posts.

I hope they don't see your kite buggying as "dangerous" near their "work of art". Hope it works out for you.
