I got an old jib from a Cougar catamaran and jury-rigged it onto my Hobie Adventure Island for a little light air sailing. It made me laugh, and worked pretty well!
It is not needed in stronger winds. The AI has plenty of power when the wind picks up. I'd be afraid of damaging some attachment points, and won't fly it in strong winds.
I have details on tropicalboating dotcom.

Wing on wing worked pretty well, better with a barber hauler on each sail to keep them spread.
