I started out on a canoe and a sail kit. I really liked the ease of being able to raise and drop the sail from the back of the boat with a line and pulley blocks! I can understand maybe not lifting the sail, pressure on the hull of the boat. But I have tried sailing into the bank a few times under heaver than I should have wind and think I will be in trouble if I try it with a dock.
My question is I am considering putting a strap round the top of the mast and installing a pulley and putting a pulley block at the bottom of the mast above the goose neck to be able to drop the sail and then paddle into hard landings. I also consider I will need to lash the gooseneck to the deck for capsizing. I would like thoughts about such an upgrade?
