Default Fitting sail mast to plastic kayak

Definitely want to try upwind.


I should have added that any foremounted sail rig will cause the boat
to try to turn away from a crosswind. So, in your case, a leeboard
mounted somewhat forward of the boat's center might give you better
balance. If you make a simple, movable, clamping rig for your board,
you can experiment with it to find its best location on your boat.
Hope that helps.
