: Hi John;

: of other sail instructions on the site.
: Daren.......

Looks like a windsurfer sail. Btw, if you're in an area that has active windsurfing, you can generally find sales of windsurfing equipment in the off season of used equipment. You can usually find really cheap prices on windsurfing sails that would work will for kayaks, being fairly flat and small. Once windsurfer sails stretch out a bit they don't work well on windsurfers, but work fine for us :)
