An experiment in kayak sailing. i put my sailing aspirations to the test on a weekend trip last october with my photographer friend dave aharonian. we planned a crossing of a windswept stretch of the strait of georgia from vancouver island 19 kilometres to lasqueti island. from there we would paddle or sail around lasqueti’s southern tip to. 5 mind the deck. rigging the sail’s hardware may require deck reinforcement on kayaks with light layups. or try a mount made from sticky pods, suction cups designed to attach cameras to race cars. according to whitaker, they hold until about 45 knots.
The second option is to make the kayak into a sailboat where paddling is only used when there is no wind, or for tight spaces. generally this would require a larger sail and some sort of outriggers and a leeboard, and a larger rudder is mandatory. the balogh sailing rig is a good example.
