Very good video, straight to the point. I've been searching for something like this for some time!

[@nosac1230]

Very nice video with good editing. Same with your followup video. Good job on all!

That’s industrious haven’t seen anything like it.

[@leohorishny9561]

I see the dimensions of the sail here, I didn’t notice the length of the mast and sprit. Here or on the video where you made the mast. Is the mast the length of the dinghy?🤔

Check out The Cumberland Rover. He put a sail on his kayak and talks about the build. Cheers.

Will contact cement stick to sail cloth?

When you say canvass tarp, do you mean the the plastic stuff?

[@yvindholtan8596]

Yes, a common plastic tarp. This was the cheapest I could find that would work. But you can use any type of canvas for this application. Some may require sewing and/or stitching.

Какой используется клей. Может надо было по периметру вклеить синтетический трос? Заранее спасибо за ответ, мне очень понравилось видео!

This would be for emergency only. Constant wind flapping will shred it in a few hours.

So avoid luffing!
