: It works,

: The winter project conversion of my kayak to sail is finished finally and the
: results were much more then I might have expected. It sailed just great up
: wind, and that had been a big worry for me. I would guess 40 degrees off
: the winds and I could have checked it with my compass but was having too
: much fun and never thought about it at the time. I put 1 ?? curve in the
: luff and foot of the poly sail which seem to give the sail the wing curve
: needed. The stackable 4-piece 13-foot aluminum mast is easy to put up and
: take down. The side tiller requires less then an inch forward or back
: movement with a feather touch to adjust the heading and I was surprised I
: could just lay the tiller down and the boat would hold hits heading for
: quite awhile by itself which I would guess is good balance. The boat came
: about nicely as was gibing around ok also. I think I will raise the mast 6
: or 8 inches so the boom clears my head.

: Thanks for the help and suggestions along the way.

: John
