Does look like its a 16m (but I would be very very suprised if anyone could hold down a 16m in a genuine 45knots.

Could be a 6m with a repair making it look like a 1 or a 10m with a repair across the 0

Or it is a 16m and your wind estimates are waaaay out

Its the new 1G, made by i-kite,
The 1G is their 1gigabyte size for light winds, I doubt anyone would put up the 1G in 45 knots.
For that sort of wind you would need the i-kite 500MB.

I have heard i-kite are going to release an app that will make the 1G kite compatible with 45 knots, will wait and see.
