Good looking rig - really moves! You should get a prize for opening the Ottawa sailing season!

After all those experiments since you bought that canoe, it looks like you've finally found a great combination of components for a sailing rig, Justin. This might be a great set-up for an Everglades Challenge event if they ever start up again.

I might try this rig in next years Everglades ultra Marathon. It's like a short version of the full Everglades Challenge one checkpoint instead of 3.

Great job, it goes really quickly and safely. I was surprised that the outriggers didn't touch the water. It seems you don't really need to used the leeboard either. But I looked again at the position of the sail in the video. I think the wind came straight from behind. Maybe if the wind comes from the side, both could be very necessary. Maybe it's also because my rig is larger and has more leverage. It doesn't matter as long as it works well.

I planned a mostly downwind route with some reaching. I think the outriggers are probably are not necessary, but the leeboard I am sure is a must.

a washer with the pins would prevent that. form your pins with a torch to have a hump/bump and they wont pull out

Travel By Water Will certainly get you where you want to go, and fast. Good for taking the family out as well , paddle up wind have a BBQ and sail back , can't be bad. Really like the videos of your little trailer sailor , filmed as it happens, no fancy editing cutting out the bits that didn't work . Thanks again and keep them coming 👍.

Sail area is 36 sq ft, the luff length of the sail is 11, so mast is about 13 maybe. Diameter is 1.5, not sure what the wall width is. Has styrofoam inside.

That’s great. Shouldn’t those tubes holding the floats be mounted on the other side? That would get them a lot closer to the water

If the floats are long and steamlined it's good to have them in the water. Short inflatable ones like this create a lot of drag so better to keep them out of the water until you need them.
