Thanks! The sail I got from Star Kayak Sails, Bill Pain is the designer and has a great KZfaq channel explaining his sails.

Thanks mate. The sail would have been too difficult to make myself and get the aerofoil shape perfect. I bought it from Star Kayak Sails. It’s their 3.3sqm sail.

Hi Lee, I ordered the sail from Star Kayak Sails. They’re a local Aussie company

Thanks Dan! The rudder is a 600m long kayak rudder, basically I scoured the web for the longest rudder I could find so it would give me plenty of rudder control. I use a modified telescoping boat hook as the tiller extension to the rudder arm. Thanks for watching mate!

Hi Dan, the sail is 3.3sqm and is from Star Kayak Sail made by a fellow Aussie, Bill Pain. 🤙

Definitely! But I still enjoy plain old stand up paddling too!

@@Aaron.deRuiter Vintage, have you gotten into the use of a boat pole yet? The pole is much more powerful than any paddle for river travel, and provides much greater control in descent through rapids. There's a whole skill set dealing with the boat pole. It was the primary mode of upriver propulsion in most places with rocky riverbeds. Check out the book "Beyond the Paddle" by Garrett Conover. It deals with poling, lining and tracking canoes (using lines to maneuver canoes through difficult water up and downstream), and navigating canoes over stretches of shelving ice. The last aspect is probably not too germane to paddleboards, as winter travel requires staying dry, but the other parts will expand your ideas of what might be done with a paddle board. I'm fascinated with the idea of paddleboards for wilderness trekking using dry bags for transporting one's gear. Your boat pole could do double duty as a mast. I got into canoe poling years ago. The bottom form of a good poling canoe is just about the same as a paddleboard bottom form except that the ideal poling boat is broader toward the stern. Also, you wouldn't want the little stern fin on a river boat, but your kick-up ridder makes that redundant anyway.

It doesn’t

The daggerboard slot is sealed all the way through. Duh.

Thanks Marcel. It would be difficult to install a sail like this in an inflatable paddle board as the mast a 200mm long hole to place it in the board. You’re better off making a new board if you want to use a similar sail.

@@Aaron.deRuiter what about the inflatables with windsurf Option, there it works with a mast! What sizes did your sail have?

@@marceljansen2153 a windsurfer style sail is definitely an opinion but I think you need to stand up and hold the wishbone boom. My sail is roller furled so it can be rolled up on the water as the wind increases or put away completely.

@@marceljansen2153 the sail is 3.4 square metres.

Ok. Do you have a picture from your roll up sail lying on the Flor so that i can see the shape of it. What material is the Mast?

Just regular paint stripper
