Anyone ever use a sail on an outback?

What was it like?  What should be known?

I also would like to know. I plan on fishing the Columbia more this year, and we all know there tends to be some free energy blowing around.

Man - that guy has it figured out.  Anyone here sail an outback?

I have a PA 14 and purchased a sail.  I have used it and like it. Instructions say not to use when wind are over 10 mph.  You can use the pedal to take and easily deployed in the water.

Instructions say not to use when winds are over 10 mph.  You can use the pedal to tack and easily deployed in the water with some practice.  I use to wind surf in my past and the boards back then were about 14 ft. Hobie has them for about $299.00 and I keep it  tied next to chair or behind me. I started to sail a couple of times in lakes and Sound before I ventured out in the Sound to fish.  My 11 yr old can do it out in the Sound.   I am looking at buying a Tandem Islander so we can sail and fish together. It has outriggers which makes it safer. It's about 18 feet and bigger sails.  Last week I went sailing and when the wind died I took out my fly pole and caught 3 trout at Lake Ballinger.
