Default Fitting sail mast to plastic kayak

Thanks for the responses.

I've cut a hole in the kayak. Mostly following the fitstorm model. I've
cut a hole centered on the compass mount area for a 1.5 inch PVC pipe
sleeve.


In addition to the sail rig and rudder assembly, unless you are only
going to sail downwind, you might want to consider a "leeboard" to
prevent (reduce actually) your being pushed sideways by the wind.
It performs similarly to a centerboard on a sailboat.
