Check this shot and a 100% crop of the top of the sail.

Now that's better.

... and that's interesting ... umm.

...and what exactly did you find interesting?
I was thinking that the edges look slightly fuzzy and the contrast is
soft. Here by way of comparison is a photograph I took some years ago when I first got my D300 https://www.dropbox.com/s/usuksr9zjd...C1038.jpg?dl=0
and here is a 100% crop of the same image.

Now I am somewhat baffled that you find my windsurfer shot above in anyway
comparable to your postage stamp size kite shot.

Here is a different example from the same shoot, with a 100% crop.

....and if it is a kite shot you need, there were kite surfers there, so here
is one which can provide a more meaningful comparison with a 100% crop.

No processing has been done other than converting from NEF to JPG.

Would it have mattered, given that the original target was so small?
