Any one into Kayak sailing?
I've spent the last few month's mucking around with sailing rigs, on both single and double sea kayaks. Its quite a large sail area, the first reef involves quite literally folding the sail in half, after that it rolls around the mast itself. Its been great fun and taking it out in a strong wind with my son in the back seat of one of Rob Feloy's Voyageur double sea kayaks was really quite exciting. The sail's design came about after chatting to Rob at the South West boat show, I went away and chatted with Dave Buchannon, a local sail maker and came up with this. The sail double's up as an emergency shelter, in much the same way as an army basher, but has a distinctively orange glow beneath it. Anyone interested in purchasing one can email us at
info@seakayakingcornwall.com or call me direct on 07788690183.
