I remember watching Greg K racing his Trifoiler and thinking that was the coolest thing EVER!

Sometimes when I'm sitting in my Captain's contemplating my SOF project, drinking my beer, I get random thoughts of hydrofoiling my kayak.... the thoughts go away in the morning.

Matt, most of the folding kayak companies have portable sail rigs with inflatable amas and break apart rigs. They're not really meant for 14'er style type racing but more for, if you're out there and there is a breeze, throw up a sail and go......

: Thanks for the link, Ron. The Rave and the Trifoiler are both interesting
: boats in their own right. Unfortunately, they are both, currently, out of
: production.

: Both of them are fast, have neck snapping G-force turns and accelerate out of
: tacks like a wild horse. They are both pretty complex boats with lots of
: parts to mess with and get right unless left setup on the beach of choice.
: They also need a fairly narrow bandwidth of sea state and wind conditions
: to do their bad thing, so you need to be in a location that can produce
: that set of conditions on a fairly regular basis or they become expensive
: toys with nothing to do.
