I notice you’ve mounted the forestay and side stays higher than the standard FES rig. I see a few other paddlers also making this change . Any thoughts on the pros/cons of the two alternative ways of rigging. Thanks for video😎
It is a sail produced by North Sails, sized to be able to replace the sail on a flat earth rig/mast/boom. Take a look at paddlesailing.com for more info and pricing. The size is 0.85 m2

Do you use a rudder?
Yes, and on this kayak a skeg placed in the front part of the boat. Gives me 5-10 degrees extra upwind.
Wow - a Flat Earth Tradewind sail. Funny it doesn't have the Flat Earth Sails logo on it.
