The final sail modifications works perfectly. here's the link to build this sail. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=waersmktesn6vt82hslrloiiydh8mt.... For kayaks like mine without a rudder, the sailing is a little more difficult as it is impossible to stay on course using leaning. in any case that is too tiring. course corrections can be made by dipping the sail to left or right to drag one end of the paddle in the water.. As promised a few weeks ago, here is my step-by-step guide to make you kayak sail. firstly lets start with the shopping list. 1. ripstop nylon – 1.5m x 150cm wide.
By keeping some basic guidelines in mind, you can learn how to make a kayak sail. a kayak sail is important when you get tired of paddling your kayak, and want to use wind power to get you to your final destination.. I’m going to make another kayak sail using some heavy duty shower curtain material and maybe change my design a little. i also plan on making a rudder that i can operate with my knees because i found that i’ve had to drag my paddle to help steer. this can make operating the sail and dragging the paddle a little complicated at times.. Using the buckles make sure you thread it through correctly. once i’d secured the sail to the kayak i folded the loose ends of the webbing under the buckle to prevent it loosening under pressure. this works perfectly. step 10. using the bungee, i fitted a yellow ball to a carabiner to make attaching/disconnect very easy..
