Sounds like what we used to call a “Chicken chute,” Bruno. A heavy air kite should be narrower at the top and flatter than than your regular kite... do hoist it all the way up or you will find it will oscillate more and steer the boat for you...perhaps in directions you don’t want to go! Three feet shy on the hoist sounds a bit small to me, but maybe go and hoist the end of your pole up three feet while you’re at the dock and see what you think. You should be able to make the foot length work. Andy
