We may unfurl the old polytarp sail on the pontoon boat again. There
seems to be a pretty good wind here too


Does that make it a catamaran? Cool.


It is more like a controlled drift but it does give you a bit more
control. I do get a lot of stares and more than a few "are you OKs?" I
just fly it like a spinnaker.


Taking advantage of the wind. I like it.
How big is the tarp? How do rig it?
