: At this stage of my planning , outriggers and leeboards are a
: little ahead for now. I have seen photos of small canoes with a
: small sail. Todd Bradshaws book on sailing rigs etc. is an
: excellent picture book with DIY instructions.
: I was hoping for suggestions from anyone who has built a small

Btw, my solo canoe is Royalex, bought it for banging around on local rivers and shallow streams, didn't want to have to worry about crashing into rocks with a stripper.

Years ago I sold my tandem sailing canoe, didn't have a full time partner to paddle with and it was pretty much tandem only, recently regretting that sale. I can though build another :)
