Abstract: A kite of the type that comprises a main frame with longitudinal rods (10, 12, 13) and transverse rods (11, 11'), has a secondary frame comprising rods known as "whiskers" (2). These rods (2) are extended to meet at a junction point (22) located in the median plane of symmetry. According to a first embodiment, straps (23, 24), either elastic or not elastic, stretch these rods (2). According to a second embodiment, an additional sail forms a keel, this sail being stretched between the median longitudinal rod (10) and the point of junction (22).
