: A bit off topic in a kayak forum, but perhaps interesting to some.

That's really cool ! Can't wait to see pics of her on the water.
I know a guy who sails his ACA canoe sometimes with two masted wing sails.
Given any thought to that setup ?

It uses inflatable bladders that run along the masts that shape shift to each side depending on the wind.
It creates a thick lifing section. Reportedly these narrow sails minimze healing. We got permission from
the canadian designer (patented) to make them for our own use. On his own sea kayaks, he sails without amas.
