Hi *,
I have tried a 5sqm Wipika two lines wing ( http://www.wipika.com ) on a double
inflatable helios380 ( http://www.innovakayak.com ). It works fine and easy to
lern downwind; upwind you need to rig the kayak with rudder and leeboard(s) like
any sailrig: not tried yet - sorry!

BTW: how can I register to Paddlewise mailing list?

Cheers,
                                         Giuseppe
