G'Day Paul, I think a kite is a pretty inflexible method for using the wind. Downwind sailing only and the ones I've seen have a lot of lines to tangle up. Umbrella's might be ok for fun sailing/races in safe conditions but not for serious touring. I don't think you can beat a sail fitted to the deck for touring.
