Chris,

I agree. I'd be most interested is a detailed discussion of sailing kayak
design and execution. Of immediate interest to me is rudder and leeboard
design.

With your vast experience in this area, I'm sure that we all would benefit via
this forum. Kayak and Canoe sailing is a natural addition to these versatile
craft, but one that has yet to be thoroughly explored by the homebuilder.

Your "Wedgesail" sailrig componenets are the best I've seen.
