@samb - Here's a follow-up to your question about sail size Today I did a few little things... . . . .

some small things . . . . . . . . . . . .

I don't have any experience with canoe sailing myself - but I'm in very good company with my friend, who has a lot of experience and with whom I'll be going on my first sailing trip. . . Yes, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes.

There's nothing special to say about it... It's originally a sail made by the german company “Klepper,” and it was originally intended for a folding boat. I was able to buy the sail very cheaply on eBay—and I think it'll be more than enough for my boat. Here are two sample pictures .

Mast Stand - done. . . . . . . . . .

My idea for the mast base was to take a rectangular piece of wood and glue it in place. It will have a hole in the center to accommodate the end of the mast. It will taper outward from the center so that the outer edges don’t stick up too much. It will be wide enough to provide sufficient...

Once I'm done with the mast base, I'll move on to the centerboard. Then I'll work on the leeboard. I think I'll just build one to see if that's enough...
