Sailing

[Simon Everett]

Somerset - the Kaskazi Skua and Duo have exactly that system for sailing rigged on them - but with a different sail rig - it sits like a hang-glider over your head, altering the angles gives you the sail power. It isn't meant to become a sailing boat - but some assisstance in moving the kayak. For touring with a loaded kayak (on an expedition the Duo can be loaded so it needs 4 people to carry it to the water - using strops under the keel.) When you have a heavy, loaded kayak, the wind assisstance is very welcome for a passage.

Good to see your still at it Zzippy, or should I say your wife is still at it, thought that everyone had given up.

Cheers

Stuart

Looking forward to seeing it. £10? Now that's the kind price I like.
