A good solution would be something like the Triak with the mast forward of the cockpit, a daggerboard (not leeboard) mounted just aft of the mast, and the outriggers mounted well aft of the cockpit and clear of the paddle stroke. To do this with a folding kayak would take so much work that it wouldn't make any sense. ----------------- There is a Dutch company that makes keels (that fold away for beaching) for Aeriuses of thick plywood with a 40 kgs weight at the end ... You order the skin (must be new) from them and they supply the holes and the attachment things. Looks great, but again, a real sailing boat is better! With a yawl rig the dagger board could be further back ... - just dreaming :-)!
