That's right, tarps, rain flies, paddles, etc... So if halfass sails work fine, I can't wait to try this one out.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . CANOE upgrade... it's gonna get a SAIL!!! With the recent success of my kayak upgrade, I got bold and just started working on building my 8 foot Bear Creek solo into a sailing canoe. Here's a couple first pics- it was a tag sale find, $50, with a couple HUGE holes in it. I patched them up with fiberglass and epoxy resin. It looks like poo but is very stable and a great boat. It's getting a bamboo lateen rig, similar to a sunfish, wiht a short mast, 2 spars joined at one end, and a triangular sail, possibly with a single batten. Rating: 5
