Don't use steel garden stake pipe, gonna rust real bad. Better off trying to source aluminum pipe, if can't find blank aluminum look for pool cleaning poles

Checkout Key West kayak fishing channel hes got a pretty sweet rig

Having the option of adjusting the amount of sail is key. I can see your issue with the small yak and no amas. Have seen some diy options though. I have been wanting to get a single man so I can go when I want to go as the 2 man with amas is quite heavy, especially with wave surge and bag full of fish.

Got the 2 man with amas trampolines and sail. Sail is very nice if the winds pick up as you can tack your way in. Got caught in some offshore 30-40 mph gusts out of nowhere in olowalu when we first got it. Pulling 14 knots with 1/4 sail. My brother was out on the ama holding it down but still out of the water half the time. Had to hold the rudder control with both hands just to keep her heading into the wind somewhat.

Would it be better if the batten was flexible?

You could probably troll at higher speeds now. Definitely more options for lures, maybe marauders or skirted jet heads?

You have some new real estate now put your logo on the sail. It would be wise since you are building a brand. And since, you know, you can sew . Yellow lettering. would look good. Pittsburg Pirates, Arrg!
