I see that you have, among several others, a greenlander. Not knowing much about the other kayaks you have, I would say that the greenlander would make a wonderful sailer. In a nut shell, adding sailing to your kayaking is as, well.., remember when you found out that that those silly girls were more fun to be around sometimes than the guys...? Well, so is a kayak when you hook it up with a sail! You havn't taken anything away, just opened up a whole new way to enjoy being on the water. I have been "dabbling" with it for several years and can only call myself a dabbler still. I do know you can make your own downwind sail or go full hilt and get top of the line BSD batwing, complete with BOSS outriggers. You can go anywhere in between. I do warn you that the first time you get that free ride that there may not be any turning back. :-) Nice thing about it is there are lots of gadgets to mess with and learn the names. I also notice your paddling area is a prime area for this. Maybe Mark will notice your post and clear up any of my slurries.. More later, got to run. Good to see more interest!
