Canoe Sailing Magazine

Sorry, didn't know how to break the link! So far, having to respond to the return email has worked. Once we migrate to a new template and bring on a better forum program I'm sure we'll have those hi-speed tools. I do keep my eye on who [what?] signs up, and this one caught my eye. <Whew>

As all of you who sign up for sites and forums know, most require a user to sign up and get approved, most often via a return email to which they must respond. I do this in CSM. Today, it failed. A 'person' who signed up turned out to [seemingly] be a robot. I checked the location [i require City, state, country] and it was [seemingly] bogus. here's the info in the order I just mentioned.

How many words, pics? "Enough" is my usual, ambiguous answer. (Take note all you who show off nice boats...it's an open door.) Take a look at some of our article to get a feel for the right length for what you have to share. Some folks have long articles--the guy who circumnavigated Catalina contributed a four-part article; others get buy with a page. Email me at editor@canoesailingmagazine.com and we'll put something together!

Nice, Jim. I'm thinking about building one for my woman when she gets here, with her help, or maybe I'll help her....whatever.... ANYway, a piroque would be a good, somple project and will turn out a fun little boat. Piroques classify as canoes, so I'd like you to share some pics and info with my readers. 65 feet? So...when do you take the sail down, at 10kts? Sweet.....

Jim, that looks like a decked sailing canoe. What is it? Any more pics?

Hell, all you had to do was drill a couple holes in the old one so it would drain...the simple solutions can often be the most elusive..... 8)

Well, whatcha waitin' on?

Frank suggested y'all might be interested in converting canoes to sail. We have a lot of articles that deal with just that and I'd like to share part of one here. The basic canoe, or kayak for that matter, needs only an effectively mounted mast and a leeboard to make it a sailor. Many of us began with only a sail and a board and steered with a paddle; more intrepid--and skilled--sailors have learned to steer by trimming their sail. That being said, my fist canoe under sail didn't have a leeboard at all...enough boat was immersed to give adequate LR, and if memory serves, it was pretty much a following wind....here's the article that talks about it...(sorry Frank, this one seems a better start than the other....) Come to think about it...my mast mount was my tent mate! (Who may never have gotten back in a canoe again....) Sailing a Tin Can The next day we headed home. As we broke camp, I noted the wind was in just the right direction. Having sailed a little on my Uncle Carl

I do, Frank. Good idea. I'll PM you....

Hmmmm....must not be any canoe sailors here...or maybe, unlike me, they're sailing and not working! ???

Yes...forget those little things at times! Thanks! ;D

Hi all, I'm new here (at the advice of an old timer) and am looking for other canoe and kayak sailors...is you there? Cheers! Ed
