Хороший обзор! И я себе такой брал, вот здесь http://ali.pub/2d09xe меньше чем за тыщу, очень доволен покупкой!

On the downside, it's fiddly to set up, and the long lines go past your legs, so a tangle hazard in the event of a capsize. Not impressed. The Windpaddle is better in so many ways.

i found it easy to set up as i leave the straps on the kayak and just clip it on when i want it. I havent used the Windpaddle, but have seen the videos, looks similar but you need to hold the windpaddle line with your hands. The Bic sail can be used hands free. Bic sail is also much cheaper.

You don't turn into the wind to fill the sail. To have the wind fill the sail in front of you and push you from behind, you need to turn away from the wind.
This kayak sail design can only propel you away from the wind.

Leobullet1, well.. technically it will pull you with the wind

See, you dont need to throw out that pop-up tent that got ripped when your drunken buddy walked through it last weekend.
Use it to make this

Even if you rigged the sail to propel you at right angles to the wind (a beam reach) a kayak would just slide sideways because it doesn't have a deep keel or centre board. Between the sail above the water pushing you sideways and a centre board, below the water, resisting that motion, your boat gets squeezed out, like squeezing a watermelon seed between your finger and thumb. You can't squeeze that seed out without your thumb to counter the force of your finger.

Never used it, but it looks downwind only since the stays don't cover other angles.

As for price, you could probably make one with some fiberglass tent poles and ripstop nylon, so the price of a cheap tent, lol

Cool video, looks like the sail will bring me good relaxing hours. ;-)
