Self designed Crab-Claw rigged Safari Gumotex inflatable kayak. Her first sail on the Solway Estuary April 2011, in the northwest of England. It was the first time i had sailed with the rig and I was testing it out in a wind of force 4-5. She was good on a run, and held her own on a tack, but I had to make some changes to her design by having an easier cleating method and raising the sail higher as not to interfere with the paddles of the kayak. But in all i was very pleased with the 1st results. It was hard to control while videoing!
