Launch failure is part of the learning process, I had a launch failure trying to sail out today on 6-7knot winds -ideal, but the waves were like 3-4ft high paddling from the shore 😂

In northern Virginia, where it was ~90% covered, it didn't even get any darker. You wouldn't even know there was anything in front of the sun unless you had the special glasses to look directly at it.

I like the convertable A-frame design idea. I've been think of that too for my 17 foot aluminum canoe ... perhaps with a roll up jib fore and aft for tacking upwind when it's too strong to paddle ... maybe sprits for bracing the sheets for downwind ... but I might be content with the leeboard leverage and a tilt of the gunwale for sailing downwind ... can't wait to see EP 10

Do you have a centerboard? I feel like you are just going to get blown off to the side in stronger winds without one.

Exactly, no centerboard for this test, just the sail. I was going to use paddle as a leeboard, but wasn't really any wind anyway!

FANTASTIC! I have the same canoe and I'm working on an outrigger, but this looks more simple . . . I'm wondering about the cable(?) loops you've got attached to the black rail? You've used the to connect pulleys & such. T The lateen rig does seem the way to go . . .

I enjoyed the video and test, I'll go back and watch the others. But how are you going to jibe it? Tacking in a strong gust might capsize you. The clew is the back lower corner, furthest from the mast. Keep at it, new subscriber.
@merzoutdoors
@merzoutdoors 10 ай бұрын
Honestly, I hadn't really thought about it. I guess I'd just pull in the sheet real snug so that the sail doesn't have far to travel if I were to jibe. Tacking & jibing should both be pretty easy theoretically since this sail is basically just a large jib/genoa and can blow freely from port to starboard, right?

This is great stuff. I hope that footer holds the mast well. Seems like there might be a lot of shear stress at the bottom, but a mechanical connection doesn’t sound like a good idea.

you may also consider having your lee boards fold so if you hit the bottom they pop back with a shock cord to hold them down. folding forward just looks like they will get damaged
