: Hi John,
: Just thought I'd mention that I think I'll have a new kayak sized sail next
: week
: Thinking of a SOF, 3 piece, sailing/paddling kayak. Might as well make it
: interesting . The trick will be getting the 15' tall mast inside the car
: along with the folded kayak.
: Bill H.
I don't quite understand if you are building it or are thinking of building it? Keep us informed at any rate. The 4-piece stackable 14-foot aluminum mast copied after Mark Balogh's is one solution for transporting a mast inside a car. We are supposed to have decent weather tomorrow and so I will try more tests on the sails and boat using a GPS to check efficiency. In the mean time I have been trying to figure out a (crab-claw sail below) and rigging for my boat but so far it's got me whipped. It seems a crab-craw sail is really meant for a Proa and instead of coming about to switch directions you slide the sail from the bow to stern, that are two ended and built the same as two bows.
Good luck on your project.
John
