Re: [Paddlewise] Down Wind Sails and Drogues

Might look at these, if you havn't already.

I have made a couple and they work just fine on my folders.

I also use a spinaker from Easyrider kayaks, altho it is a bit pricey, it 
works ok. 
As far as mounting, I used PVC that was the same size as the mast hole on 
my folbots(1.5"). Cut it flush with the deck, and made the inside hole 
large enough for the spinnaker mast(looks like a heavy duty fishing 
pole)to stab down in it. couldn't be simpler.

I perfer the sail over the spinnaker, as the spinnaker if allowed to get 
in the water is real fun on a windy day.

You might try this list for more help.
