G'Day, The link below shows a popular design by Norm Sanders. Although my sail is quite small, it goes well in winds greater than 10 knots and can be set and lowered very easily at sea. There is no trouble rolling with it. Most of the Aussie sails I've seen don't go upwind, but will work across the wind. http://home.iprimus.com.au/rebyl_kayak/ .
