As it is the canoe sails slightly upwind with out a centerboard-I did move the sail up in front of the front seat to get better up wind performance. It sails on a beam reach well and goes down wind good.
I normaly sail down wind then use the trolling motor to get back. Sometimes I will add speed by paddling with the sail at the same time. you will easy out run any kayak or canoe under paddle power alone
