STEERING OARS CAN MAKE A KAYAK PADDLE WITH THIS ITEM Oar joiner lets you create a doubled-bladed kayak paddle by joining together just the blade sections of two steering oars. So if you ever find yourself up Sh*t's Creek, you won't be without a paddle! |
Don't have a picture yet, but the idea is simple: Each oar has a blade half and handle half. With this joiner, the two blade halves can be snapped together to form one kayak paddle. It won't be a great kayak paddle, but very handy for emergency use. |
*Please note: Upgrades are substitutions for standard components. Their prices reflect a credit for deleting the standard component they replace. Therefore, upgrades cannot be ordered without a sail kit in the same order.
OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
Outfit your rig with these extras to make sailing even more of a breeze!
|
HYDRODYNAMIC FLOATS AND ARMS Includes just the pontoons and the arms that snap into the crossbar. For sail kit owners and others that already have a crossbar. Best performance; excellent even in strong wind that submerges them. 4-week lead time. |
 |
|
INFLATABLE FLOATS AND ARMS Includes just the pontoons and the arms that snap into the crossbar. For sail kit owners and others that already have a crossbar. More portable, good performance. No lead time. |
 |
|
SECOND STEERING OAR Some kits come with one oar. Most of our kayak kits come with two. Read the descriptions. It’s more comfortable to steer with the oar on the same side as the sail. With two oars you won’t have to move your oar direction changes. Just switch hands letting the other oar trail behind freely. |
 |
|
SAIL KIT CARRY BAG Big enough for the sail rig and more. Strong fabric and strong zipper. Picture may not be 100% accurate. |
 |
|
ELECTRIC PUMP Get your kayak pumped up nearly to the top with ease, then just top off with the hand or foot pump that comes with your boat. (Alligator clip adaptor and hose shown are not included). |
 |
|
STEERING TUNER Lets you adjust mast position forward to tune the boat for perfect steering balance. Find the perfect mast location for your boat and your preferences! Reduced "weather helm" (tendency to turn upwind), means less effort to hold a straight course and less rudder drag slowing you down. Only for U-front rigs. |
 |
|
SAIL COLOR SCHEME - NO COST OPTIONS! Many no-cost color schemes available to suit your taste. From pirate sail to plain white to bright primary colors. Any nylon color choice is no extra cost. Dacron is extra. |
 |
|
Extra Straps |
Extra straps are so handly to have! You will find many uses. Lightweight stainless-steel buckles instead of the usual clunky pot-metal buckles sold elsewhere. |
|
SLIP ON WHEELS Slip-on wheels work equally well on kayaks, even inflatables. Conveniently, easily move your kayak on land. Submersible, leave them on for launching and slip off when the boat has enough water under it. Slip on for pulling out. Wheels mate with sail kit front crossbar. |

Cam Jam Cleat for Sheet or Halyard This little gadget can hold you sheet or halyard. Get 2 and have one for the sheet and one for the halyard. Note: Although this is designed for you to be able to release it quickly just by jerking the line in the right way, cleating a sheet in a small sailboat always increases your risk of capsizing. Available on Amazon and at Home Centers for about $13. We sell it for more. |

SQUARE-POST UPGRADE FOR HYDRODYNAMIC STABILIZERS Upgrade to the NEW square-post stabilizer system. More convenient to operate than the standard round-post system and totally eliminates the risk of floats twisting out of alignment. Included in the Super Deluxe package.
