There's a photo of some umbrella sail racers and a short article at http://www.paddlermagazine.com/issues/2003_1/article_210.shtml. The article hints that umbrellas with a clear panel or two offer advantages, and Keith's suggestion of a baffled umbrella sounds smart, as well. A Nigel Foster Silhouette won the race. If a Paddlewiser gets into umbrella racing big time and wants an orange and white sail, I'd be happy to look around Knoxville for them. There's a lot of orange and white here, especially with fall football coming on.
