Sailing My Canoe for the First Time

And now for something completely different… sailing my canoe! I bought a kit which arrived yesterday. It adds a mast, lateenĀ sail, stabilizers, side-boards, and a steering oar.

The rig was very responsive in light airs; made forward progress with almost undetectable wind. Got a few 3mph “gusts”, which were enough to heel the boat. Overall, a very good first impression!
