Rob,
Great photos and video!
My first thought was that the sailing canoe looked like great fun,
particularly since the water where I live rarely goes above 18 C.
Sliding along, enjoying the spray, ahhh. The utter simplicity of a
steering oar, and no blocks, winches, clutches, or cleats is nice to
see.
The next thought was that single-handing is basically out. Man,
that thing is a lot of work. And wet.
There's something to be said about a bit of tech -- a carbon fiber
unstayed mast, 2:1 mainsheet, and kick-up foils with a carbon fiber
tiller extension, and you've got a whole new experience.
- Mike
