Inflatable kayak sail and rig Itiwit 3

I just finished my inflatable kayak sail rig for my Itiwit 3 kayak. I'll be sailing it within the next couple of days to test everything out to see if I need to make any improvements or adjustments.

A leeboard is a form of pivoting keel used by a sailboat in lieu of a fixed keel. Typically mounted in pairs on each side of a hull, leeboards function much like a centreboard, allowing shallow draft craft to ply waters fixed keel boats cannot. Only one, however, the leeward, is used at a time, as it does not get lifted from the water when the boat heels under the force of the wind.

I'm wondering if the sail location at the front works well. Please post actual sailing too!

[@mikesyoutubechannel6367]

The sail rig and sail are in tne front. It works great. Watch the entire video please.

Very interesting project. I would like to try this for my inflatable kayak. I am pretty good with PVC. What is your mast and sail made of?

[@mikesyoutubechannel6367]

Everything is pvc pipe. The sail is made of heavy duty plastic shower curtain.
