Mark, I'm interested in anything you can do with a kayak,
including sailing.  One person on this list implied that only folding
boat users seemed to have an interest in sailing-as if we are a special
breed of kayaker (well, maybe we are :-).  

It did look like you started a discussion in the hopes of pushing
a bit of information on your sails, but that didn't bother me any. I
don't mind hearing from manufacturers as long as they don't go the
route of the sponson guy.

I sometimes paddle my Klepper Double and use it's sail, but usually,
my wife and I are in our hardshell Eddyline kayaks (Raven and Merlin)
while my stepson is in the FeatherCraft KLite folder.  Sailing is a blast, 
why would anyone want to be a "purist" about any sport, unless you're in 
it for competitive purposes.
