I just obtained a WindGlider in hopes of hooking my grandkids during trip
to Kona in few weeks. I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know the size of the standard sail that comes with it?
I've been told anywhere from 2.2 to 3.5, so am a bit confused. Last resort
will be to actually unfurl it and try and recall trignometry.

2. I'm looking for an even smaller version of the sail (they used to make a
Pluto/Disney version at 1.2sq.m.) and would like to purchase used one if
anyone has the Pluto or Mickey (1.7) available.

        Thanks, David
