2008 Canoe and kayak sail in Vancouver Canada

In this video I am sailing in about 10-12 knots of wind off Jericho Beach in Vancouver. The video shows a couple of tacks, I have to duck under the boom as it is low, just a few inches higher than the gunnels, and swivel the wing mast into the wind.

Please share where you got your sail rigging from.

Hi, the mast and boom are from a Tasar dingy. I cut the mast down, and used a portion of upper mast for the boom. I had a local sailmaker sew new sails, following the Tasar plan, but scaled down to 92 sf.

Hope that helps,

Dave

WoW. That is truly Beautiful.

Both Craft and rigging. Must be one of the

nicest around. Yes that answers my question.

I think I am going to start out with a small windsurf sail,mast and boom.

If I could ask one more question? Where did you get the sponson (pontoon) from or did you make it?
