The 2004 Yargas didn't need a 5th line the 2005's were designed to use one. You have my sympathy, learned that one the hard way myself on the way to Bimini. Anyway, get in touch with Best and they should be able to hook you up with a sleaved 5th line specific for that kite. It should attach to your existing bar. The 17 m, same size I had, is a large kite. The extra support at the leading edge can do a lot of good. Check it out, it should help with this problem.

I actually just pulled up the m0del of my kite online...turns out the kite that i was told was an '05 is actually an '04 (old or not i got to good of a deal on it) therefore im guessin i dont ACTUALLY need the 5th line....

but needed or not i still cant get the damned thing into the air after it hits the water...

anyone else have the same problem with the larger sized yarga's?

I really liked the 04 Yarga, could do a great deal with that kite. Still, it is a traditional C kite and price or no, you would be well served to update to a good flat kite. They are a lot safer. I would ask on the Best forum for ideas in the interim. I would check to make sure all your flight lines are the same length and try just a little extra pressure in the leading edge, don't pop it!
