"Mimi" is our newest creation. Designed by Steve Kaulback, she is a 12 foot decked sailing canoe (or kayak...the distinction at this level is somewhat vague.) We are not yet in production...we hope to be up and running during the winter/spring of 2012. Her sail is 32 sq ft, high aspect balanced lug. She can be sailed, rowed or paddled. We don't yet know her final weight but we are guessing 40 pounds. If you send us an e-mail we will send hi-res photos.

I wanted to see that jibe! (What does one do with the leeboard?) But no.

When you're ready to add an outrigger kit to your sailing canoe, check out Expandacraft. Lots of options and far more stability.

Smooth little rig. What kind of sail is that?

[@mikefule330]

Balanced lugsail but with an additional full width batten.
