: I was thinking about getting one of the pop-up down sails like
: the WindPaddle sail, but this looks better, especially if I can use
: a shower curtain.

A bit more extensive, and quite a bit more expensive than a shower curtain would be the rig for a Klepper. I have no idea how many years Klepper has been selling sail rigs for their kayaks, but they have been around about a century, and I suspect their sail rigs have been around almost as long.

They use a lee board. I imagine it would be a problem cutting a slot for a centerboard in that skin :)

I haven't tried it myself, but friends who had a Klepper with an older sailing kit said it was a lot of fun.

here is a pic from their website: www.klepper.com
