The main reason I was attracted to the kayaksailor was that it offers the ability to sail on all points of the wind due to its design in combination with the lee boards. It also was easy to see after doing my research that there currently isn,t anything else in the market that offers as much performance. Also the quality of the kayaksailor is brilliant. Mine is used in salt water conditions and is showing no sign of deterioration. As far as any body who may be considering this product, I can, with out reservation, say go for it you will not be disappointed in the kayaksailor or the service you will receive. It is obvious that both David and Patricia are both passionate and of great integrity. I would suggest you make full use of there knowledge when making your purchase decision.
The kayak I paddle/sail is a Paddling Perfection Euro X made in New Zealand out Kevlar/fiberglass combination. This kayak is on the narrow side for sailing but I wanted to push the limit a bit to gain maximum performance. Specs are 5.4metres by 54cm wide weighing 22kgs, hence the reason for choosing the 1.4meter sail as per your recommendations. I find 8-12knots of wind is ideal. My time on the water is now more fun due to the options of now being able to choose between paddling, paddle sailing or just sailing which also teaches you a whole new set of skills.” ~ Kelvin Harper, ~ Tauranga, New Zealand

 

Well I love it. Makes trolling very easy. It gets out of the way better than a (other sail) when paddling. Be sure to tell folks in cooler weather when you idle back the engine and let the sail work the heat output of the engine goes away and getting cold is an issue.   Bundle up or start paddling again.” ~ Charlie Fast ~ Valrico, Florida <Wilderness System Tarpon 16>

 

I have a 2005 Ocean Kayak - Prowler 13 Model(13' 4") which seems to be an ideal size for the Kayaksailor rig. I am a kayaker whose first love is sailing so the chance to combine the two was a no-brainer. I used to take a beach umbrella along for the downwind legs of my trips which worked well as long as I was going downwind but the Kayaksailor works sooooo much better and on all tacks! I can still explore the shallow and narrow creeks, then when I come out into open water I pop up the sail and I'm off. If someone is apprehensive about tipping over - don't be. Just ease out the full-battened sail to spill as much wind as needed without any luffing (sail flapping). I have used both the large and small sails and prefer the larger to take full advantage of light breezes without worry of being over-powered  in heavier winds. Kayaksailor is well-made, durable and worth the money. ” ~ Bert Reynolds ~ Florida

 

It is absolutely the best sailing solution for a recreational kayak that I can imagine.  My boat remains a kayak, and yet I've got this incredible sailing capability.  The boat will sail at all points, upwind downwind, and reaching... it really is a sailboat when the sail is flying.  The sail can be raised so easily, it can be adjusted, reefed and trimmed as needed.   And yet, I can drop the sail in an instant and I've got my kayak back to poke into some secluded little spot or stop and watch the fish and birds.  It is not encumbered by an outrigger that detracts from my ability to paddle and maneuver.  I still am in love with this idea and this sail. ~ Fred Damerow ~ Kennewick, Washington < Necky Eskia>
 

I always look forward to sailing my yak, as it gives an ear to ear grin whenever the wind picks up. I am completely satisfied, and your product has actually exceeded my expectations! This is a very balanced rig. I've sailed in 20 plus knots (without reefing)on the ICW (intracoastal waterway) with waves and large vessel wake.  The sail spills the wind and have never felt overpowered or in any danger of broaching.  I'm a sailor first, and paddler second.  I can sail in all points of sail (upwind, across the wind and downwind).  The lee boards are very well designed, and I can keep my yak balanced by trimming the lee board. Once I learned how to trim, I no longer felt the need to add a rudder. This rig handles very well in 5 to 20 knots without reefing.  I researched several rigs, and this is by far the best at this price point! If you want a better sailing kayak, you will need to buy a purposely built sailing kayak that will cost $$$. ~ Rich Hughsam ~ Florida < RTM Disco 14 with Hobie sidekick pontoons, no rudder>
