I'm looking for input on kayak sails - what have you used?
I used the Flat Earth sail in a workshop at PPS with Ginni Callahan a few years ago.
I notice that is also the sail that Justine Curgenven used on her Aleutian trip.
I think that 'Kayakwriter' here uses the Falcon sail.
I've seen videos from NZ/AUS-Tasmania with folks using a variety of sails, including DIY sails stepped through the deck (vs on a hinged step).
I'm 'leaning toward' the Flat Earth sails. The Falcon sail is much more expensive (almost double) and I've been a bit 'put off' by their marketing copy.
But I'm still looking for info, so would value user experiences with sails in BC/PNW wind conditions (when we have wind...which seemed to be a problem when I was in a sailboat... )
