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.
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.
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 👍.
I have a 17ft 40-year-old (almost new) Grumman.i had a 15ft Grumman before that. Unsinkable and will take a lifetime of abuse. People can keep their plastic kayaks
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.
Being an avid catamaran sailor and canoeist, this video definitely captured my attention. Did you make the Sailing ring yourself? Pretty cool stuff considering it’s basically half a catamaran😉 cheers mate!
@@allans7281 it's a leebiard, so it's on the side of the hull vs going through the hull. It's attached via a friction clamp to the mast partner, 48 inches in length so about 36 inches (~1 meter) deep below the hull.
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.
Good looking rig - really moves! You should get a prize for opening the Ottawa sailing season!
But what happened to all that warm weather we were having ! Ya, shes quick, but she is also really well behaved/predictable.

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.

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.
Belo e simples! Gostei de seu projeto.
Great build 👍🛶
a washer with the pins would prevent that. form your pins with a torch to have a hump/bump and they wont pull out
That looked exciting and very fast for a canoe, well done and thanks for sharing 👍.
Thanks, yes, it's very fast. It will exceed theoretical hull speed down wind.

Great build. I would put a small kicker on to stop boom distorting sail.
Thanks:)
Love it! Wish there were more aluminium canoes around.
They last forever.

High five The Bsd sail is big $$ always wanted one but can not justify the cost I was thinking on using a Optimist sail rig for doing the same.
They are, but I hit the jackpot and got this one used. Optimist sails are a good option for canoe sailing.
Great stuff, fun rig. Try fairing the back of the board so it is thinner, gets rid of the hum on our old Fireballs etc.
My first boat when I was 16 or 17 was a ply Fireball. Great training for canoe sailing.
Great albeit windy 🌬 first sail. 👍
A little bit less wind and I could have done a bit more experimenting. I was pretty limited to what I could do.
Leeboard humming does happen with my SeaPearl 21.
It's a satisfying hum.
Where can I get that sail kit and much they cost ?
Here is the link to the website. Price varies depending on exactly what you order. It's a great sail rig. www.baloghsaildesigns.com/
Very cool! What is the mast tubing wall width and diameter? Mast length? Sail area? I am building a sailing canoe so I'm curious.
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.
@@travelbywater9378 Thanks!

The sail rig is a kit I bought online. Very good quality. www.baloghsaildesigns.com/
@@travelbywater9378 Interesting.
How is the dagger board set up? ( lateral drift) thx mate

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

Looks like a great first sail! Where did you launch from on this test run?
I launched at W.A. Taylor conservation area on the Rideau River.
I have the same canoe ;)
This is a kit i can buy ?
Great video!!!!!
Thank you.
Yes, these kits are available for sale from "Ballogh Sail Designs". They are fantastic rigs, interchangeable between boats.
@@travelbywater9378 thank you
I will buy. So i can learn how to sail ;)
Where can one order the sailing rig?. I live in Winnipeg, Canada.
It came from "BSD sails". In New York. He had no problem shipping to Canada.
Did you even watch this video before posting it?
With AI processing everything it sees and everything it hears, aren't you glad you were there to participate in its infancy??
I wouldn't know how to use AI lol.
video curses??????

Just too much going on
