: Sorry Mike but all that video shows is you can sail downwind pretty
: easy if you hug the shore and the seastate is almost calm. A
: boat doesn't become a sailboat until it can tack.

: Trying to sail with that tiny kayak rudder and using a paddle
: instead of a leeboard has only limited applications. If a boat
: isn't equipt with the minimum reqirements the wind will never be
: your friend. You may end up in Peoria instead of getting home to
: dinner on time.
