Add a thwart with a hole to the top of the sea wind and a block on the bottom for a mast base. Use another windsurfer mast or aluminum tube (sunfish spars are cheap and work great, we use them for spinnaker poles on the I-20 especially as spares in remote locations). Build you some foam outriggers (thats what I would do) and a leeboard (thats easy enough). Add a halyard, downhaul and stick for a boom and your done! BAM! go sail it and worry about reefing later. lolAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227893582027440616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202403558019059086.post-90827668940821070702007-11-19T08:13:00.000-06:002007-11-19T08:13:00.000-06:00Not complicated at all rather simple actually. th...Not complicated at all rather simple actually. the foot of the sail would roll up on the full length battens, as the head of sail was lowered on a halyard. yes gromet points would be aded to secure the reef(s)<BR/><BR/>I may still do it, but i have my eye on a used Balogh that is coming up for sail...

So...What a concept, a kayak sail that you can reef. Sounds complicated. You would, at the least, need grommets. There being no boom, how would you secure the reef?Silbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561606347525787459noreply@blogger.com
