: I feel the same way about sailing. I kayak because I like the
: physical exertion, so kayak sailing's not for me, but I see more
: and more guys with them around here. If I bought one of those
: parachute/garbage bag things I think I'd throw it out rather
: than take the space to carry it home from the first paddle, but
: I see guys sailing into the wind on occasion with the Falcon
: Sails, so they do work pretty well. I've seen video of Roy
: Martin rolling his kayak with one flopping loose on deck, so the
: kayak functions pretty well as a kayak, even if for some reason
: it all came undone. I think it only takes one line to put it up,
: but I don't know. Sail rigging confuses me.

This was a self rescue test I did last November to see if the Falcon sail could be rolled with...so that a boat exit would not be required in case of capsize

Best Wishes
Roy
