A different sail

At least I haven't seen it before.

Looks like a modified Wind Paddle which is manufactured in Hood River.

Mark, that's a nice product line.

Anyone tried out the WindPaddle sails to see how effective they are at crossing the wind?  Their flatter-design "Adventure" model looks tempting, but only if it can give me a decent ability to reach.  If I want straight down-wind I'll just use the sail I built myself...

On one of my crazier days I may just try using the Revolution stunt kite to pull myself across a lake.

I did try kite sailing in Gig Harbor one time, but couldn't get the kite to stay aloft (faulty technique + fickle winds = wet kite...).
