Anyone know where I might find a pattern for a make-it-yerself kayak sail?  I'm
only interested in the go-straight-ahead-only pocket-type sail (I'm not sure of
the correct terminology here), as opposed to the windsurfer or sailboat style
where you can actually go into the wind.

I bookmarked these links from a previous thread. Haven't gotten far enough 
on the kayak I'm building to try them yet. The first two have sketches of 
downward sails.

Also try the Kayak Sailing mailing list at

http://www.shipwrecked.com/kayak-sail/

They have a links page also.

Good luck, Paul.

"Anyone know where I might find a pattern for a make-it-yerself kayak sail?"

Try Laurie Ford's website:
http://www.tassie.net.au/~lford/sails.htm
A simple V design has a reasonable following here. The mast is stepped into
a hole glassed in on the front deck, reachable from the cockpit. When not in
use, the sail is carried rolled up on the mast and boom, in a sleeve made of
shadecloth on one side of the front deck.
