: I did something similar but with about half that sail area.
: Performance was disappointing until I discovered the ama had
: more drag than the canoe; speed picked up dramatically when I
: raised the ama out of the water. Unless the amas are very slick
: it pays to mount them high and just use them as reserve
: stability in the event of a gust, otherwise run 'em dry. Might
: be less of a problem with more sail, i didn't get around to
: trying that.

Good point AK.
The CLC Amas that I'm going to use sit out of the water when the kayak is level.
Any drag is bad news.

Thanks for that.
