Sail a line rider up the line.

Sail a line rider up the line. There are many patents on this matter. Some line riders are intended to sail up the line and then meet a trigger letting the rider either sail back down the line fall slidingly back down the line. A rider may go up the line and totally release from the line. A rider might trigger some other action. A line rider might sail up to fetch something and bring such back down home. Riders may be scaled, but remaining able to be supported by the main kite system.
