I own one. I use the Feathercraft K1 mount to strap it on to the various
hard-shells I own. Once the sail is up, it is fine, but I find putting the
sail up or taking it down 'very' precarious in a kayak with no outriggers.
If I had to do it again, I would get one of the V sails with control lines
that allow the sail to be raised/lowered more easily. I keep telling myself
I am going to modify my Spirit to do this one day...
