In Response To: small downwind sail for sit on top (bob burton)

: looking to build a small downwind sail for my sit on top kayak-basically to
: get across the bay or lake-
: does anyone have a source for clear mylar suitable
: or a similar material. Also any thoughts on what
: could be used as a mast-and attachment to the top
: of the kayak. I can find little info on the subject
: anything would help---thanks bob burton

For an adventure racing project we tried a small spinnaker which used the paddle as mast. It worked fairly well and was quite easy to control, strictly downwind though.
