WindPaddle Scout Kayak Sail
$149.95
The WindPaddle Scout Sail will pull your kayak or canoe quickly downwind, yet is easy enough for kids 8-80 to handle. Great for solo boaters looking for a simple and forgiving sail to help the trip go faster.
- 1/2 ounce rip-stop polyester spinnaker sailcloth, the same material used on racing yachts, is a low-stretch fabric that will not absorb water or become heavy when wet.
- Easy-to-use clips make rigging the Scout quick and simple.
- Can be clipped to just about anything, including deck lines, cleats, bungees, pad eyes, fairleads, thwarts, gunwale handholds or a bench seat.
- Deploys in a matter of seconds.
- The WindPaddle design keeps the sail's center of force low, making the boat/sail combination stable and easy to handle.
- A clear window in the center lets you see where you're going.
- A continuous sheet (or steering line) allows the paddler to control the sail while holding their paddle for bracing and steering.
- Coils flat so it's easy to stow in your canoe or under your kayak's rigging.
- Super lightweight, so it won't weigh down your boat when stowed.

A:
I have a skeg on my kayak which I always have deployed when in the
water. I don't know the answer through experience.
You might contact the manufacturer directly. They have several videos on
their site that might help.Answered on 3/16/2013 by Anonymous
A:
Bill, a rudder can help with the maneuverability using the sail but it's not necessary. You can master direction with the sail and a bit of help from your paddle.Answered on 3/16/2013 by Clyde from NRS
