So glad you found the sour...Lovely Music and view. So glad you found the source of the leak!<br /><br />As far as canoe sailing, I think his small sail helped him a lot. On my kayaks and canoes I often use a small sail between 0.7 and 1.5 square meters. It adds a lot. It may be that paddling makes tha apparent wind angle better, because I often find myself doing 4 knots while thinking my paddling effort is an easy 3 knots. None of my boats have a leeboard or keel boat but the sail adding to my effort more than half of the time which works out to 30 mile days with the sail feel like 20 mile days with just the paddle.<br /><br />PaddlingandSailing.blogspot.comhttp://paddlingandsailing.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
