Hey Nick thanks! Very cool video. Wow, I may have to give it a whirl.

Home made sail rigs too, and they look quite simple yet well done.

I was wondering if the one fellow with a bare naked ladies on his sail
made it from a shower curtain. Then I read on his page he does use
shower curtains!

I was thinking about getting one of the pop-up down sails like
the WindPaddle sail, but this looks better, especially if I can use
a shower curtain.
