Buenos dias mi amigos,
I love sailing but hate towing trailers and setting up complicated rigs.
I want something I can throw on top of my ute, cart off to the water and set up relatively easily.
I had a thought of buying a 14' canoe and adding some sort of sailing kit - sail, outriggers for stability, leeboards and a rudder of some kind.
No-one in Australia makes a conversion kit to sail a canoe. The best I could find comes from the States and costs a bit.
Then I thought about making my own set up and using a windsurfer mast and sail. I've cruised websites and come across people who have done just that.
What do the punters think:
Would a windsurfer sail and mast do the job?
If so. what sort of sail and mast should I look at?
If it won't work, what do you reckon I need to do to make it work?
I did see one website where a guy had a rigid mast about 8' in length and the windsurfer mast was attached to it.
Some insights would be most welcome.
Adios.
