Did a little experiment with some quick made outriggers for vacation
I now have a Sailboat, Standup Paddle board, kayak, and ark...
No leakage, paddles great, the low draft means it will go anywhere a Kayak can.
I took it up a lake tributary, past 3 inch ripples, until even the Kayaks could not...

Took a buffer to it...
Does anyone have a link to proper sailing techniques for a not so new, but like newish 71 Alcort Sailfish.
I am not really familiar with the Sailfish system.
I am sure it is easy to figure out, but what I figure out may not be as good as how it is best done
