The folding kayaker enthusiasts seem to be the most at home sailing their boats. No one should try to stop you if you want to use a rudder or skeg or sail. Personally, I tend to agree with the other guy who said let kayaks be kayaks and sail boats be sail boats. However, I do think there's room for a fast easy down wind assist. The umberella concept sounds great. Seems easy to bail from if the winds get really nasty, too. BTW windsurfing is an excellent complimentary sport to kayaking. Days when it's too windy to paddle are usually ideal for board sailing.
