These clips are so motivating,i couldn't think of a better way to spend a few days in the greatest country on earth Australia. thanks for the uploads,makes me work harder building my yak, good on ya fellas
Im wordless with appreciation. What trip anywhere packs more than that? The storm, the steep seas, the speed, and above all an infectious sense of camaraderie.
Aren't you afraid your feet will get stuck behind the lower part of the mastfoot, that is under your decks? This seems to be a risk when you have to leave your boat after a capsize.
How well can you sail the kayak across the wind or even to windward? Dou you use leeboards?
That was amazing. I am just starting to kayak and hope to tour Flinders Island some day. Did you make your sails or were they purchased? Also, can you tack with those types of sails (meaning the sprit-like sails)? Keep up the touring and excellent videos.

Yes we make our own sails, they vary considerably in size and shape. The taller, narrower sails are best for sailing into or across the wind. Most sails allow us to tack across the wind and the dagger rudder helps to stop the kayak sliding sideways in cross winds.
just put a batwing on my kayak hope she sails well wish u luck on your next trip and a fair wind and following seas

Great images. I've been looking for videos of conditions in Bass Strait. I'd love to see a high quality video!

No, this was a Maatsuyker Canoe Club trip with some Victorian sea kayakers along for the paddle.
I have just come back from another visit to Flinders Is by the maatsuyker canoe Club in Feb 2009.
