The GPP 2017 kite is a replica of Stormy Weathers' Swift Victory star, version 1996. Scott's choice of project. Any size, any color, any material. Just be there or be square. What a successful project. Bob Umbowers  
What a wild and stormy day on Fanĝ when the group assembled to fly their masterpieces. Each assembled their entry (some with help, some with wind protection, one back at his"camp" and flew it down the beach to the gathering, and some just crazy out in the open).   3 out of the 5 official entries with extra entries.
