If it is not equal to that, we will fix it. It's hard to keep up with Sea Eagle price changes, but the formula we just stated will always govern your final cost.)

Intex Mariner 4 with Our Sail Rig - Complete Inflatable Sailboat The Intex Mariner 4 is the boat to get if you plan to sail with 3 or 4 people and a picnic lunch. Video of Mariner Almost 11 feet long (130") and almost 5 feet wide (57"), with a solid roll-up floor. The cockpit is much larger than a Sevylor 11 footer, despite similar over-all dimensions, because the air chambers are smaller. Plus, the solid floor enhances the feeling of space because the floor stays relatively flat under your foot or bottom. This is an extremely stable, rigid, substantial-feeling boat. Under the floor is an inflatable spine running the length of the boat that gives the hull a "V" shape under the water, which helps it track well. The disadvantage of this boat is weight: The floor is 30 lbs and the boat is 36 lbs, so together they are about 67 lbs. (Other websites may disagree, but we have weighed it!) Fortunately, it's easy to remove and install the floor by deflating one main air chamber, so when we don't have help, we just separate the floor and the boat into two portable 30-something-pound packages. (FAQ: Can boat be used without floor? Answer: No). If you can't afford our Saturn or Baltic model but want a boat for group sailing with room for the cooler, this is the one. Comes with 45 s.f. nylon sail standard. This same sail rig will fit lighter boats such as the Intex Seahawk II so for an extra $100 - $200 you could give yourself a lighter-weight second hull as an accessory -- a different sailboat to take when traveling light.
Accessories to consider:
(a) Get our bellows foot pump or one of our electrics that run off the car cigarette lighter.
(b) Sail options. Upgrade to 55 S.F. sail for more speed on days with weak winds. Upgrade to custom dacron sail in either 45 or 55 S.F. size and pick your colors. (Photo shows a custom dacron sail in 55 S.F. size.)
(c) Heavy duty mast.
(d) Carry bag for the rig. Either the standard bag just big enough for the sail rig or our new larger, heavy-duty bag -- same $39 price on either.
(e) Floating waterproof cellphone case.
More info With optional motor mount, can take up to 3 HP motor weighing up to 40 lbs. Maximum load in the boat is 880 lbs. If you already have the Mariner, and just want the sail kit, buy item 2001. Note: Mariner uses a 52-inch front crossbar that does not fit in bag, unless you order item 2057 snap-apart option. To sail with motor mount installed, add item 3022 clamp set.
Pandemic note: This boat has become hard to get and its price has become volatile. We may contact you saying we will have to pay more for the boat and offering you the option to reimburse us or cancel the order.

Outside Massachusetts tax note: Sales tax of your state will be charged in a separate manual transaction after the order is entered.
Hydro-Dynamic Stabilizer Floats & Arms only (slide into crossbar of a sail or rowing kit) Streamlined rigid pontoons on telescoping arms that can be added to most of our sail rigs and rowing rigs to help prevent capsizing. This is an accessory for any sail kit or rowing rig from us or Spring Creek that has a crossbar these can slide into. See item 5026 for a complete stabilizer including crossbar and gunwale clamps. MORE DETAILS CLICK HERE
To upgrade your order to this item in the "square post" version add item 1031 (click).
The square post version is a bit more costly, but it's worth it: More convenient to do the up-down adjustment of the floats with the square-post version and the square posts automatically align the floats to point straight ahead.
Color choices: CLICK HERE (Specify color choice in comments section of checkout page). Best to give first choice and second choice as availability varies.

Inflatable stabilizer floats and arms -white Inflatable stabilizer floats with float arms that slide into the front crossbar of any of our sail kits.
Don't have a pump? We have a good one for a low price: Click here (item 3007). But inflation by mouth also works well-- about 8 puffs.
Combine this with a Crossbar and clamps for a complete stabilizer system if you don't have a sail kit.
Rugged, yet more portable than our other stabilizer floats because they deflate. Very puncture resistant and they inflate quickly and easily a few strokes of the pump or puffs by mouth. This item is not designed with the up/down adjustment. This item is just floats and arms for adding to a sail kit, rowing setup, or other product that already has crossbar for them to slide into. For sailing, you generally use floats in all-the-way-up position anyway, so if that's the intended use of your stabilizers, you don't need up/down adjustment. But we can upgrade to a version with up-down adjustment for $20 more. Just put a note in the order comments. Click Here for Video.
Our item 1006 rigid stabilizer perform better in some respects but are not as portable and compact to store.
Free shipping applies if ordered with other things. If ordered alone, we will add $15 shipping when we process the order.
This is our own house-brand product and if a much improved product, in that the floats have thicker skin and 3-point attachment system so they hold their shape better and resist tipping forward or backward.
Customer writes: 'I LOVE IT'
Hi Jim!
Sailed for the third time on the setup today. Sails GREAT! I LOVE IT!
Very lively winds today, 12-16 knots at times. Boat handles great under sail, glad I got the inflatable stabilizers for sailing solo. (The hydrodynamic ones would be great but I needed everything to be RV packable.)
\
Thanks,
Frank K. (put our sail kit on a Sevylor XK17 inflatable kayak)

Upgrade stabilizer floats from inflatable to hydrodynamic Add this item to your cart only if you are also buying a sail kit that normally comes with inflatable floats. This item deletes the inflatable floats from your product and adds the hydrodynamic floats (hard plastic streamlined floats with up/down adjustment). It charges you only the difference in price between these two float styles.
Deluxe package: Solstice Quest Dinghy Sail Kit and Rudder (no boat) Just like item 1070 (click here) except we upgrade the mast and sail to the heavy duty mast and larger 55 SF sail, and we add a sail kit bag and a little 12V electric inflator. Inflator will do 95% of the work and then you top off with the foot pump that comes with your boat. Steering is by traditional center rudder.
(Boat not included -- buy from Amazon, West Marine or any of the many vendors now selling it.)
Sail kit for Saturn River Raft RD365 - rudder version The sail kit for the RD365 Saturn Raft with rudder steering and 45 SF sail. To upgrade to larger sail, add item 5011 to your order. Please review other upgrades and options and consider adding some of them too.
For steering oar version, see item 1075
Standard rudder blade is phenolic just like our standard leeboards. Upgrade of the blade to polycarbonate is item 5193.
Sail Kit for Saturn River Raft RD365 - steering oar version The sail kit for the RD365 Saturn Raft with steering oar steering (2 oars) and 45 SF sail. To upgrade to larger sail, add the item 5011 to your order. Please review other upgrades and options and consider adding some of them too.
See item 1074 for same thing but with rudder steering.
Saturn Lite River Raft RD365 With Sail Kit Many will find this the best combination of durability, comfort and performance of all our inflatable dinghy sailboats. It is rugged -- made for river rafting. Very firm and rigid, with high-pressure inflatable floor. Comfort bonus: Sail kit has no metal pieces on the sides of the cockpit so passengers have easier entry and exit and you have acres of unencumbered smooth air chamber area for lounging around against and on top of. Put your feet up! Lean back! Sit on the side! No metal!
Specify gray or dark green.
Also available with traditional center rudder steering instead of steering oar steering. See item 1078.
Size is 12-feet long x 46 inches wide. So it is wide enough for comfort and stability, but still narrow enough for good sailing performance, and narrow enough to be paddled like a kayak.
We have been searching for an inflatable dinghy option that had the durability of a good kayak but with the comfort and stability of a dinghy and now we have found it!
Rear motor mount available (item 1077) for trolling motor. You can have the electric motor mounted on the back as an auxiliary while you are sailing. Fit the battery box under the rear assembly and it will be totally out of the way. Pics and video clips of motoring: Click Here.
Weight of boat without sail kit is 49 pounds. Sail kit is about 35 pounds.
This is a complete inflatable sailboat, including sail, mast, spars, mast step, leeboards, front & rear frames, 2 steering oars, and all necessary straps for attaching. Snap-in leeboard mounts, hand pump, and bag for boat included. Sail kit bag is optional extra (item 6007 or 6021)
Sail kit and optional motor mount attach to factory pre-installed fittings (no need for you to add d-rings or anything).
Consider adding a sail kit bag (item 6007). Also consider upgrading the kit to the larger sail and heavy duty mast (item 5011 is the package of necessary substitutions). See all upgrade and accessory options on our Dinghy Upgrades, Options and Accessories page. At the top of that page are links for adding our "Deluxify" or "Super Deluxify" options to your order which will give you a package of upgrades with one click, including, most importantly, the larger sail and taller, stronger mast. Or add options from that page a la carte.
Warranty against manufacturing defects: 2 years on boat, 1 year on sail kit.
Notes on accessory and upgrade compatibilities: Not compatible with steering balance tuner nor sliding leeboard mounts. No need for quick-release leeboard mount upgrade as snap-in leeboard mounts are standard on this boat.
Rear motor mount for RD365 Sail Kit Rear motor mount for trolling motor for RD365. Requires the rear assembly of the sail kit to be mounted because it integrates with it and derives some of its support from it. Puts the motor out of the way of the boom of the sail kit, so they work great together. All aluminum. $18 shipping added if not purchased with bigger items that carry a shipping charge. Otherwise, free shipping.
Saturn River Raft & Sail Kit with Rudder Steering See item 1076 for the full description of this great boat and sail kit, but order here if you prefer to have traditional rudder steering instead of steering-oar steering.
Advantages of steering oars: (1) You'll never have trouble coming about and get stuck pointed directly into the wind with steering oar steering. That occasionally happens in any sailboat with a traditional rudder. (2) The steering oar system is compatible with the motor mount, while the rudder system is not. (3) You can sit centered facing straight ahead with steering oars at your sides, while with a rudder you generally sit to the side and have to twist your neck to look forward.
Advantages of traditional rudder: (1) The traditional rudder requires less arm effort to hold your course in strong winds. (2) It's what most sailors are used to.
The RD365 adapts well to the traditional rudder and it steers well with it. The rudder has a kick-up blade so you can beach the boat and launch from a beach easily.
Not compatible with our tiller-turner system. Not compatible with motor mount.
Standard rudder blade is phenolic just like our standard leeboards. Upgrade of the blade to polycarbonate is item 5193.
Marine Pro inflatable dinghy with sail kit Lightweight and affordable, yet still a nice firm and rigid boat of excellent quality with wave-skimming upturn at both bow and stern. A personal favorite of Jim. Video click here. And for more pictures and videos Click Here.
This is a low-drag hull design comparable to the Mariner 3 but much lighter and therefore more portable. Built-in inflatable floor keeps it light and simplifies set up. We like this boat very much. Comes with pump, rowing oars and patch kit. The sail kit includes the 45 SF sail, spars, mast, frame, leeboards, straps, steering oar unit and one steering oar and oarpin. (Optional second steering oar is item 5031). Sail kit only (no boat) is item 2042 See deluxe package at item 1082, or to just upgrade the sail and mast to larger ones add item 5011 to your purchase. Comparison of Intex Mariner 3 to Hydroforce Marine Pro: Same size and shape. Mariner 3 has solid floor, which makes it heavier and bulkier. Hydroforce has inflatable floor, which is a little softer than a solid floor, but still pretty firm. Boat is about 30 lbs. Sail kit, about 34 lbs. Carries 1 to 3 people. The color scheme now is green & black. No more Blue and white available. Does not have motor mount fittings.
"Hi Jim!
I bought a Hydroforce dinghy with sail kit from you last year and it's fantastic!!! -- works excellently and easily, instructions were great, and the boat is absolutely _tons_ of fun (and was a very good price too)! I tell all my friends and work colleagues about it, and I'm also thinking about getting one for my dad (who lives in New Hampshire) as a gift when he finishes his vacation place."
Boat is green with black and yellow. Does not accept a motor mount.
Deluxe Marine Pro package Everything as described at item 1080 (Marine Pro/Voyager inflatable boat with our sail kit) plus the upgrade to larger mast and 55 SF sail, plus an electric inflator that plugs into your car, plus a sail kit bag. Plus second steering oar. Pictures and videos Click Here. Comparison of Intex Mariner 3 to Hydroforce Marine Pro: Same size and shape. Mariner 3 has solid floor, which makes it heavier and bulkier. Hydroforce has inflatable floor, which is a little softer than a solid floor, but still pretty firm. Boat is about 30 lbs. Sail kit, about 34 lbs. Carries 1 or 2 adults. Green and black. Does not have motor mount fittings.
Dinghy sail kit options, upgrades and accessories page: Click Here. Note: Also sometimes available in green with model name "Voyager 1000" but it's the same great boat. See the new green styling: CLICK HERE. If you have a boat color preference (white vs. green) state it in order comments and we'll try to accommodate it. Sail color choices here. State choice in order comments.
If you prefer a cordless inflator that works on D cell batteries, state that in order comments too.
Extremely portable and quick to set up. And look at that low price! This is the ideal setup for traveling light and setting up fast. We take the Saturn TOW290 and put a folding lightweight sail kit on it that unfolds and straps on in a jiffy. The hull is about 34 lbs. and the sail kit is about 32 lbs. Carries one or two people. Cockpit floor space is about 2' x 5'.
At this price, you get the hull, a wrap-style carry bag for the deflated hull, hand pump, and complete sail kit with one steering oar, sail, mast, spars, mast step, frame, leeboards and all necessary straps for attaching. No modification of the hull is required. No part of the sail kit is longer than 4 feet when folded. This makes a complete inflatable sailboat, capable of sailing downwind and across the wind, and tacking upwind.
Consider these upgrades:
Second steering oar so you can steer with either hand without shifting the oar to the other side.
Steering balance tuner to allow fine-tuning of the amount of weather helm (= tendency to turn upwind).
Carry bag with shoulder strap for folded sail kit. Everything fits in this 1'x1'x4' bag with room to spare for your lifejacket and the pump!
See more information on these accessories and upgrades (and more) by clicking here. When you get there, click the "more info" links to see prices. (Some options shown not applicable to this boat, but most are).
Lightweight folding sail kit straps onto your TOW290 and makes it a very nice sailboat! All necessary parts are included -- 45 square foot nylon sail, standard mast, spars, rigging, phenolic (black) leeboards, frame, straps, mast step, and steering oar. Choose from wide selection of upgrades and accessories if you want more features and performance. No modification of your boat is involved. For more details, or to buy boat and sail kit together, see item 1084. Questions? Call Jim at 1617 645 1605 or email him at Jim@SailboatsToGo.com.
Duffel Bag for Mariner Floor or Canoe Cart Makes carrying mariner boats easier. Divide the load between boat bag (comes with boat) and this bag for roll-up floor. Now you have two 40-lb. bags instead of one 80-pounder! We use this same item number for a bag for carrying the folding canoe/kayak cart. Please specify in comment section if buying for a cart.
Free shipping if there is a cart, sail kit or boat in your order. Otherwise, we will add $7 later in a separate manual transaction to cover shipping.

The sporty, portable Mariner 3 with our sail kit (item 2022) but with these upgrades and extras: Bigger sail (55 s.f. nylon sail - Choose your sail colors), heavy duty mast, electric inflator (plugs into car), and carry bag for sail kit.

Specify your sail choice in comment section of checkout page. See how portable it is! To sail with motor mount installed, add item 3022 clamp set. For second steering oar, add item 5031. Note to customers in Europe and perhaps other countries: It will probably work out best for you to purchase the Mariner 3 online from a seller in or near your country and then just purchase the sail kit and other accessories from us.

Sales tax note: We don't have to collect sales tax in other states (besides MA) but our boat supplier does. If they charge us sales tax on the Mariner, be will charge that to you in a separate little charge after we order the boat for you. It will probably be in the $18 to $25 range.
Serendipity Sail Kit for Water Tender or Classic Dinghy from Sun Dolphin & West Marine The Water Tender or West Marine Classic Dinghy and a SailboatsToGo sail kit make a real sweet combination. So we gave it a name: "Serendipity."
We designed a special sail kit just for this hull. Hull is available in West Marine stores. It clamps on in less than 10 minutes, just by tightening 5 hand knobs (3 on the front assembly and 2 on the rudder).
Maximum capacity 3 people (480 lbs.) Weight of the boat without sail kit 110 pounds. Sail kit folds and fits in a 4-foot bag (item 6007) and weighs around 40 pounds.

Walker Bay 8 or 10 sail kit - Just sail, mast, spars, ropes, mast slide, mast adaptor
This is just the sail, mast, mast adaptor, spars and ropes. See item 1108 (<=click) for complete kit ( these items plus daggerboard and rudder).
What's included in this item: 45 sq. ft. nylon sail lateen sail -- so much more convenient to raise and lower than the Walker Bay sail where you have to put the tall mast inside a long sleeve sewn into the sail each time. Our lateen-style sail stays on its spars (poles) and can even be folded up with the spars, because the spars are in sections. You just raise and lower the whole assembly of spars and sail with the halyard line. Dropping the sail as you approach the dock or beach is so easy!
You can choose any of our nylon sail color schemes, or upgrade to Dacron and choose from our Dacron sail color schemes. Sail selection page click here.

Conversion Kit - Inflatable Dinghy or Kayak Sail Rig to Canoe (No Floats) Additional parts you need to use your inflatable dinghy, or U-front kayak, sail rig on your canoe.
Maximize your versatility! This item consists of 4 gunwale clamps ($80 value) and a pair of sliding leeboard mount converters ($59 value), plus instructions. You probably also want to order stabilizer floats and arms (item 1006). This is an upgrade kit for sail kit owners and would not be useful by itself.
You need the sliding leeboard mounts because canoes require the leeboards to be closer to the mast for proper steering balance. The leeboards should be no more than 2 feet behind the mast, for most canoes. Otherwise, your canoe will keep wanting to turn downwind, making it hard to control. What you want is a moderate tendency to turn upwind, which is what you wil have if you get the leeboards closer to the mast but not too close.

Sail kit for Sea Eagle Frameless Fishing Boat 285 fpb Not available Sail kit for the Sea Eagle Frameless Fishing boat 285 fpb. This sail kit is like our item 2001 sail kit, with some minor changes to make it suitable for the 285fpb. We included hardware to attach the rear crossbar of the sail kit to the motor mount, so that you can have the motor in place and even a motor if you want. Consider the upgraded version of this kit with taller, adjustable-height mast, (item 2006) instead of this one because it gives you more headroom under the boom. Greater headroom is important if you plan to sit on the swivel seat. The item 2006 kit also includes a bag for the sail kit (item 6007), which this base model sail kit does not.

Sliding leeboard mount converters (Pair) Alternative to the Steering Balance Tuner. Don't need both. Allows you to adjust position of leeboards on our "Any Kayak", and inflatable boat sail kits (excluding kits for Pakboat, SVX200, Saturn & similar, where mast position is adjustable instead). Does not include leeboard mounts, because those are already part of your sail kit. Following the instructions provided, you will be able to fine-tune your rig for the combination of hull, sail, sailing conditions and preferences you have. Farther forward gives slightly better upwind performance. Farther back (up to a point) gives less drag and less effort on steering oar to hold course going straight ahead. Too far back gives control problems. Adjustable positioning allows you to adapt rig to wider variety of boats, and to your desired handling characteristics. The inflatable rig and the kayak rig work on rigid canoes if you get sliding leeboard mounts and 2 pair of gunwale clamps. (Canoes need the leeboards farther forward than the standard fixed position for kayaks and inflatables). Changing leeboard position with these sliding mounts requires no tools and can be done in a few seconds provided you aren't also trying to sail the boat at the same time. Do on shore or let your passenger do it for you, so you are not distracted from your duties as skipper!

Steering Balance Tuner (Read whole description!) Tune your rig for effortless steering and reduced drag. This accessory lets you move the mast forward, farther from the leeboards, thereby reducing the tendency of the sailboat to turn into the wind. Result? Less effort required from the skipper to hold a straight course, and less drag from the rudder or steering oar so you go faster.
Suitable for use on our dinghy rigs and the kayak rigs with U-shaped front assemblies like the rigs for Saturns and Sea Eagles and on the Any Kayak and Kayakamaran rigs. (If it is unsuitable for your rig, we will warn you before shipping it and let you delete it from your order).
Physically, what is it? This device is a short (13-inch) "bowsprit" that clamps to the middle of your front crossbar and points straight forward. The mast step is then mounted to it, instead of to the front crossbar. You then tune your steering by experimenting with different locations for the mast, a bit farther forward than its normal location.
Background: Sailboats are always designed so that the steering "pulls" a little toward the upwind side. This is called "weather helm." This does a lot of good things for safety and control, but there's a tradeoff -- too much weather helm is a drag, literally and figuratively. Literally because the rudder or steering oar drags more when correcting against the weather helm to hold a straight course, and figuratively because your arm gets tired holding the tiller against the pull (or push) of the weather helm when the wind is strong. Many things affect the degree of weather helm, including the design of the hull, the strength of the wind, the weight distribution in the boat, etc. (That's why we can't make a rig with steering balance that is automatically perfect for any boat.) The biggest factor affecting steering balance is the distance between the leeboards and the the mast. More distance ==> less weather helm. Less distance ==>more weather helm. And if the distance between mast and leeboards is set too great, the steering balance flips over into "lee helm" which means the boat is always trying to turn downwind, and that's bad. Small changes in the position of the mast relative to the leeboards (a few inches) make a big difference.
How you use this: Start by moving the mast just 3 inches forward of the front crossbar, and take a test sail. If you like the steering balance, you are done. If you want even less weather helm, go back to shore and move the mast another 2 inches forward and take another test sail. And so forth. If an experiment results in lee helm, you of course return to shore and move the mast to the rear a bit. Do not attempt to adjust while on the water!
Don't try for neutral helm. If it is neutral under test conditions, it may become lee helm under different conditions, (different wind conditons, different weight distribution in the boat) making handling unpredictable. Your goal is a moderate amount of weather helm. Do your tests under moderate wind conditions, close to shore. Lee helm can make sailing pretty difficult, so you don't want to risk it under challenging conditions. Do your tests with the leeboards angled back, since this affects steering balance and they may swing back during a given excursion even if you prefer them vertical.
Free shipping applies only if ordered with a sail kit. If ordered later, shipping is $10 and will be manually put through as a separate charge on your card.
Why does the position of the mast relative to the leeboards affect steering balance? Put a pencil on a table. Push sideways on it at the middle with your left index finger and resist that push with your right index finger, also at the middle. Your left finger is the wind on the sail and your right is the leeboards in the water resisting the sideways force from the wind. Move your left finger forward a bit while holding the position of your right finger unchanged and see how the pencil (the boat) turns downwind. Do the opposite and see how it turns upwind. Your left finger position represents the "center of effort" of the sail, which means the point along the sail at which force ahead of that point and force behind that point are equal. When you move the mast, you are moving that center of effort relative to the "center of lateral resistance." The leeboard position is pretty close to the center of lateral resistance, though your hull shape and your rudder or steering oar will affect its location somewhat.
Aside from its usefulness, this accessory is interesting to experiment with, for those intrigued by sailing mechanics. Just be careful to avoid lee helm.
We also offer sliding leeboard mounts as an alternative way to get more distance between the leeboards and the mast to accomplish the same goal of reducing weather helm.
Note: Be sure to install washers (provided) under star knobs of u-bolts. Important!
Electric Air Pump - Power Inflator 12V DC works off car cigarette lighter
We tested many inflators before choosing which to sell. This is the quietest one we tested. Plugs into cigarette lighter. Has adaptors for different size valves, or in some cases you will use the valve adapter that comes with your boat in combination with the nozzle on this. It does not have a hose. In some cases you can use the hose from your manual pump and mate it up with the nozzle on this. Will inflate boats to 95% in about 10 minutes. Final pressurization has to be done by hand or foot pump if you want it really firm, but that's just a few strokes of the pump. Inflates and deflates. Alligator clip adapter shown is not included.

Tiller Turner lets you sail sitting centered in the boat with center rudder The Tiller Turner accessory for a center rudder gets the tiller (the handle that controls the rudder) out of the middle of the boat, so you can sit there. Eliminates need to shift sitting position when you tack. Steering becomes a push-pull motion instead of side-to-side. Tiller is moved to one side, where you can hold it with your arm resting on the side tube of your inflatable. Must be ordering the rudder (item 2043 or item 2044 or item 7007) at the same time to purchase this item. (Note: This item is only applicable if you are getting a center rudder. Our standard steering system, which we prefer in most cases, is the side steering oar system that is standard on most of our sail kits and sailboats. The steering oar system also allows you to sit centered with the tiller at your side.) More Info Click Here

T-Front Kayak Sail Rig - Open sides -- for RazorLite, Travel Canoe, and many others Sail rig for inflatable kayaks and canoes with good rigidity. The front assembly is "T" configuration, instead of a "U," so, yes, it obstructs the front of the cockpit a little, but it leaves most of the side tubes completely unencumbered by metal -- great for putting your feet up on the sides or draping your legs over the sides, boarding from the water, and ease of getting in and out for passengers.
Videos and Photos on RazorLite (similar to Travel Canoe): click here.
Don't obsess over the details of how it attaches to a particular boat in a particular video or photo. It will work and we'll provide the right assortment of straps to make it work on your boat. It's not dependent on the kayak having d-rings or other attachment points in particular places. Fits: Sea Eagle RazorLite kayaks and Travel Canoe, Saturn Expedition kayaks, Aire Tomcat, Outfitter, and similar Aire models, and more. It can even be used on the Sea Eagle Explorer series (380X and 420X) -- see this video. Not suitable for Sea Eage Fast Tracks.

Boat is now green.
This includes two swivel seats, one seat pedestal (pedestal use is optional and may not be too practical when sailing), two oars, Scotty bases for fishing poles, carry bag for boat, foot pump, motor mount. Sailing with motor is no problem with this boat. This is a comfortable, stable boat that is fun to sail. Weight capacity rating over 600 pounds. Size is 12'4" x 4'6" inflated. Weight of boat is 75 lbs. Sail kit is about 35 lbs.
We think they should have called this the "Roll Cat" because putting it away is just a matter of taking off seats, sail kit, oarlock pivots and motor mount and rolling it up, metal benches and all! Pontoons are really rugged "crocodile skin" PVC you can pound on with the sharp end of a claw hammer. Sailing performance is very nice and real comfortable. See description of item 2030 for suggested upgrades.

Customer comment: 'Marvelous Invention'
"Jim, I took the Cheyenne II [formerly Navigator II ] for its first sail on Lake Wyola in Shutesbury ma. The wind was light and the double steering oars served as rowing oars when needed. Got to try your dancing sailboat maneuver by raising both steering oars. I admired;1- the cleverness of using the clamp for the leeboard mounts as the clamp to lock the side bar extension,2 The shock corded boom and gaff kept inside the sail sleeve , the high quality of all the parts, even the web straps and buckles. I learned something not obvious in the instructions, that the cheyenne II air valves can be locked open by depressing and turning the center pin, not required for inflating with an electric pump, but makes deflating and rolling up the hull quick and easy. I hope you have gotten time to use your marvelous invention this summer. The weather has been so oppressive. Looks like I will be selling/donating my Sunfish! I am looking forward to taking this boat to Cape beaches."

Center rudder for inflatable dinghy sail rigs, substitute for side steering oar Add this item to delete the steering oar system (tiller on the side) from one of our sail kits or complete inflatable sailboats, and substitute instead a traditional center rudder and tiller. This is a substitution option, so you have to have a sail kit or sailboat in your order. [See item 2044 for item by itself, not as a substitution.]
We prefer the steering oar on the side, generally. It gives more control and allows you to sit centered, lean against the rear air chamber, and have the tiller at your side, right where your hand would naturally be. But for kids and some small adults you may find the center rudder more comfortable and convenient. Traditionalists may prefer it also. The rudder requires less arm effort than steering oar steering in a strong wind.
Center rudder steering works particularly well on the Navigator III 400, Solstice Quest and Nanocat for 2 reasons: (1) These models have a full-width stern (as opposed to many other boats that narrow toward the stern) so there is more room to either side of the center tiller and (2) they have really firm air chambers, so you can sit on the side air chamber without squashing it and use the center tiller really conveniently (just one of several ways to sit in this boat and use the center rudder). Here is an album of photos and video clips showing the Solstice Quest sailing with our center rudder: Click Here.
The rudder also works with our "tiller turner" system (sold separately, item 2017) which converts the control of the center rudder to a push-pull motion at your side.

Here is an album of photos and video clips showing the Solstice Quest sailing with our center rudder: Click Here.

You can sail with motor mount installed IF (a) you have side-steering-oar steering (not center rudder) and (b) you purchase optional clamps to sail with motor mount (item 3022).

Deluxify Any Inflatable Sailboat or Sail Kit Adding this item to your shopping cart does the following:
1) Converts the sail kit or inflatable sailboat in your order to the heavy duty mast and 55 SF nylon sail with spar extension.
2) Adds a carry bag for the sail kit.
3) Adds a DC electric pump. Pump will do most, but not all, of the inflation chore for you but you must top off with a hand pump to reach recommended pressure.

Front Crossbar Extension - $12 shipping if bought alone Extension snaps into front crossbar and makes it longer. Free shipping as an add-on item. Easily snaps apart for compact storage and transporting of your sail kit. We offer this option with the Intex Mariners, Intex Seahawk 400 and the Sevylor 5-person and 6-person boats in mind. These boats are too wide for our standard 46-inch front crossbar. The longer front crossbar (52 inches in most cases) these boats require is included standard when you order a sail kit for one of these boats. But if you want a 46-inch crossbar and a snap-on extension so that the kit will fit in a 4-ft. bag, order this item. If we see you have ordered the extension, then we'll ship the 46-inch bar with the kit. The free shipping only applies to buyers of a sail kit. Bought alone, shipping cost is $12

9 - ft. Nanocat with folding sail kit Inspired by the Saturn Nanocat NC290, this is our own Nanocat with our sail kit. It makes a really nice, extremely portable, inflatable sailboat. See price at bottom of page. The boat is light enough for one man to carry (about 55 lbs) yet it has carrying capacity of 600 lbs. The floor is raised above the water for lower hull drag. The material and construction is more durable than mass-market dinghies such as the Intex Mariners and Hydro-Force boats. Comes with one steering oar, leeboards, frame, mast, sail, attachment straps, and full instructions. Also included are pump, patch kit and boat bag. All the usual dinghy upgrades and options apply. This picture shows it with the 5011 sail and mast upgrade. Maximum engine capacity 2.5 HP. See it sail on this Nanocat Sailing Video (click here).
Sail Kit for Saturn Nanocats Sail kit only, for Saturn Minicat "Nanocat" (for larger Minicat read on). This is the steering oar version. For the center rudder version (can't be used with motor) order item 2009 (click). Center rudder cannot be used with motor in place, so this steering oar sail kit will be the way to go for many folks.
. Also, this item number is for the Nanocat, which is only about 4 feet wide. For the wider boats of this type, the price is a little higher and the item number is 2062 so please click here for that.
Includes 45 SF nylon sail, mast, spars, frame, leeboards, steering unit with 1 steering oar, attachment straps, full instructions. If you don't have the boat already, see our minicat-boat-with-sail-kit packages (items 2058,2059 and 2060). Also see link at the end of this write-up for the options and upgrades, because you probably want to consider upgrading to the larger sail and other cool features, and you may want the sail kit bag.

Sat Cat - Frameless 11.5' Saturn Catamaran with Sail Kit
Wonderfully comfortable and portable, the Saturn CR350 frameless inflatable catamaran with Sailboats To Go sail kit is a ton of fun. We call it the "Sat Cat" for short. See specs on the hull on the Saturn website (click this) but come back here to buy because they don't have the sail kit.
You may be able to expand the picture by clicking on it. Picture shows it with these options: unbreakable polycarbonate leeboards, 55 SF sail and heavy-duty mast.
The hull is only about 50 lbs. and deflates for tranport & storage. The sail kit is about 40 lbs and folds to a compact size that easily fits in an optional 4' x 1' x 1' bag with room to spare.
The big rectangular space for people, surrounded by fat air chambers you can sit on top of, or sit adjacent to and lean back on, makes sailing this craft a very sociable and comfortable experience.
Only 1 steering oar is needed for this craft. But we provide 2 oars so that you can row it as auxiliary means of propulsion, using oarlock sockets on each side that are integral to the rear assembly of the sail kit. You wouldn't call it a true rowing frame, but it works nicely as a backup means of propulsion.
At this prices, the sail kit has a 45 SF nylon sail and phenolic leeboards on quick-release mounts. Consider upgrading to the 55 SF sail, and the unbreakable polycarbonate leeboards, adding slip-on wheels, and adding a sail kit bag for a more deluxe experience. You'll find these options and upgrades by CLICKING HERE.
You can add these upgrades and options by first putting this item in your cart, then adding upgrades and options, and then checking out. If you find that confusing or want advice from Jim while you do it, he is only a phone call away: 1-978-263-7598 or email Jim@SailboatsToGo.com.

Book On Learning To Sail -- Jim's Favorite (USED) We've read them all (almost) and this is the best "How-To-Sail-For- Beginners" type book out there. It's the one used by the Annapolis Sailing School. Title: "Learning to Sail." It's got one female author and one male author, which for a "how-to" book is a good thing.
Jim Luckett says: "It's clear, well written, well illustrated, and correct."
Condition is used, but good.
We do provide "How To Sail" instructions (written and illustrated by Jim himself) with our sail kits, plans, and sailboats, but if you like to have things explained 2 different ways to help make them stick, read this book too. Paperback.

Clamps to sail inflatable with motor mount Motor mounts use the same fittings we use for normal attachment of the steering oar unit, so trying to use both at once presents a conflict. This item resolves that conflict by allowing you to attach steering oar unit to motor mount supports. Enables you to sail with motor mount installed. Consists of a pair of stainless steel u-bolt assemblies & instructions. Motor mount and sail kit sold separately. See video here.
Motor mount for Intex boats and Marine Pro is item 3015. You need both items.

Old style Intex Motor Mount -- for Seahawk Sport 400 etc.
This motor mount is for Seahawk Sport 400 and all older (pre-2005) Intex boats with motor mount fittings. Has longer arms than new-style (see item 3015 for new style). As far as we know, we are the only source in the world for this item. Allow a few extra days because we custom make part of this for each order.
Please make sure your old boat is still good BEFORE ordering this item. This item is not returnable based on changing your mind or discovering your old boat is no good, because of the custom fabrication aspect.
Contrary to photo, item is metal and plastic, not metal and wood.
You will receive two separate shipments, probably arriving on different days. One will be a new-style Intex motor mount with short arms and the other will be our custom-made adapters to lengthen the arms so they reach to the rear oarlocks of your old-style boat.
If you want to sail with motor mount in place, order clamps for steering oar assembly (item 3022). Dinghy sail kit options, upgrades and accessories page: Click Here.
Deluxe Sail Kit for Pakboats Canoes and Kayaks See description of the basic product at item 3025. Fits Pakboats canoes and kayaks.
With the deluxe kit you get: Hydrodynamic stabilizer floats (pontoons on outriggers), a second steering oar, and a large, heavy-duty carrying bag. Sail size is 45 SF and the mast is our standard mast.
Pakboat Puffin Saranac tandem folding kayak with deluxe sail kit An open folding kayak for 2 people with our deluxe sail kit (see description for item 3026 for what this includes). This is a complete sailboat in two duffel bags. The kayak (you could call it a canoe) weighs just 28 lbs, yet has a capacity of 2 persons/400 lbs and a length of 15 feet. Kayak assembles in about 20 minutes (twice that the first few times); similar for the sail kit. We're excited about the speed, portability and upwind sailing ability of this sailboat. The kayak is a non-inflatable PVC skin over and aluminum tubing frame. Between the frame and the skin are 2 inflatable tubes on each side, for safety and to tighten the skin. You will feel this boat flex under stress, just like a traditional eskimo kayak, but like an eskimo kayak, it's plenty strong. For more info see our Pakboat sail kit page. Click Here

Camera Mount -- Video Yourself Sailing Puts your camera four feet out in front of your sail kit front crossbar, shooting back at you and your passengers.

Camera screws on using the tripod mount threaded fitting on the bottom of most cameras.
Upgrade Your Order to Quick Release Leeboard Mounts Add this item 4807 to your shopping cart ONLY if you are buying a sail kit or complete inflatable sailboat that uses the U-shaped front assembly (most do) to upgrade the leeboard mounts by substituting in the quick-release type. Highly recommended!
If you want the mounts to upgrade a kit you bought previously, you need item 4806 (click) instead.
More convenient and more durable than our standard mount. Leeboards snap on and off and do not have to be screwed on and off each time, saving time. Threads are stainless steel for both male and female parts, eliminating the less durable aluminum female threads on the standard mount. And the female thread of the leeboard knob has a friction ring to help keep it tight once you tighten it -- another feature unique to the snap-off mount.
Upgrade from the get-go and save $20 relative to the cost of upgrading later.
45 SF sail, spars, slide, ropes, instructions Great package deal to add an alternate sail to your sail kit (or to help you with a DIY project). Sail will be our "D" color scheme in nylon (white with blue yellow and red stripes at top and bottom) unless you specify another in the order comments.
Includes nylon sail, folding spar set with all fittings, swiveling mast slide, halyard rope, sheet rope and instructions with link to how-to video. No mast is included.
See item 5000 for set with mast. This is everything you need if you already have our sail kit and you want an alternate sail you can quickly swap in without having to go through the procedure of dismounting and mounting the sail on the spars.

Giant 66 SF Sail and Spars and Mast Slide Be ready for really light winds with this giant sail. You'll have it mounted on spars already, so the switch from your existing sail will be fast. Mast slide included (see item 4992 for lower price without mast slide or item 4990 for sail only). This sail is like our 55 SF sail except the boom is also extended, like the top spar. Heavy duty mast recommended, as with the 55 SF sail. We would not use this sail above 12 mph winds. Best under 10. Terrific value pricing. Color: 2-tone blue (sail B) only. Although we say this is for light winds, at least one of our customers has ignored this limitation with no ill results.
The following was posted to the Snark Sailboat Owners Yahoo group by TCraig: "Just went sailing today with my Snark Sunflower with the 66 sq.ft. sail. The wind was gusting to 23mph and the Sunflower was tearing along at 4.5 mph for 2 miles per my Iphone gps app. I think that would be a top speed for the Sunflower. I had to really hike out to keep from capsizing and the mast was bending like crazy with the gusts but the mast was ok in the end. I mention this in case anyone is considering upgrading to the large 66 sq ft sail from the 55 sq ft sail. Be prepared for some energetic sailing!"

66 SF Sail and Spars (no mast slide) Be ready for really light winds with this giant sail. You'll have it mounted on spars already, so the switch from your existing sail will be fast. Just move the mast slide over to this spar set and you're good to go. Or, buy a second mast slide($30) too. This sail is like our 55 SF sail except the boom is also extended, like the top spar. Heavy duty mast recommended, as with the 55 SF sail. We would not use this sail above 12 mph winds. Best under 10. Terrific value pricing. Color: 2-tone blue (sail B) only.

Spar set - boom, top spar, mast slide, ropes for our rigs, Sea Eagle, etc. Segmented (3 sections each) and shock-corded inside, so they folds to 45 inches, but the parts stay together. You fold it with the sail still on the spars, for fast setup and take down. Fits our rigs, Sea Eagle, SOAR too. Add item 5160 (spar extension) to fit Sunflower or our rigs with 55 SF sail. Mast slide is on pivot, so sail can be furled and stored vertically against the mast, held up by the halyard, without taking the mast slide loose from the mast. Spars are aluminum, for light weight and strength. Includes all necessary fittings and hardware. If you get a second sail, we recommend a second spar set to save time changing sails. It saves at least 20 minutes each time.
Upgrade to Reefing Batwing Sail, Mast, Etc. (substitution) This is a substitution item to use only when ordering a sail kit or boat and sail kit from us. This item deletes the lateen sail, mast, spars and mast step and substitutes in a Batwing sail from Balogh Sail Designs. Includes substitution of mast, boom, mast step, sail and rigging. To buy these items outright, instead of as a substitution, order item 5008 instead. The Batwing sail can be reefed by means of zippers to reduce sail area in high wind. The high-tech modern design of the sail makes it more efficient for sailing upwind. Across the wind (reaching) it is about equal to our 55 SF lateen sail in a strong wind. In light winds, it is inferior on all points of sail. It shines in winds above 10 mph. Size is 36 SF but performance in strong wind can equal or beat a larger sail, with less healing over of the boat. Note: Batwing sail comes with its own bag (included) for sail and mast and it is about 54 inches long (sail and mast fold to 54 inches). This bag is just for the sail, mast and boom.

The Batwing sail can be reefed by means of zippers to reduce sail area in high wind. The high-tech modern design of the sail makes it more efficient for sailing upwind. Across the wind (reaching), in a strong wind, it is about equal to our 55 SF lateen sail, despite smaller sail area. In light winds, it is inferior on all points of sail. It shines in winds above 10 mph, particularly in upwind performance. Size is 36 SF. Two reefing zippers. More info CLICK HERE Not included: leeboards, frame, steering.

This item is a 55-square foot sail and a spar extension that snaps onto our spars so they will accept the larger sail. Larger sail gives you more speed in light to moderate winds (5 - 12 mph). Select item 5011 instead if you want to substitute this sail for 45 SF sail. Select this item to get the larger sail without deleting 45 SF sail. Heavy-duty mast upgrade included (must have a sailkit or a standard mast in same order to qualify for upgrade).
More Pictures Click Here Consider getting a second spar set so you can keep both sails mounted on spars for quicker change over (item 5003).

If you want a heavy duty mast and you are not ordering a rig at the same time, please order item 5039 instead.

Steering Oar & Oar Pin & Short Strap. Oar w/ clamp-on oar pin. Flat blade, 7' length. Short strap included to secure oarpin in socket. Free shipping if ordered with a sail kit. Otherwise, $15 shipping* added after checkout. Use with our sail kits and canoe rowing attachment. Sail kits come with one, but you may like to have a second one. Some kits already come with 2, so check the kit description. It's very convenient, when sailing, to have steering oars on both sides. You don't use them both at once for steering, but it allows you to steer with either hand without having to shift the steering oar from side to side. MORE INFO & VIDEOS CLICK HERE See item 5174 for oar without oarpin. See item 5175 for joining sleeve to mate two blade sections to make one kayak paddle. *Continental US only.
Cheaper by the pair if need 2 or want a spare: See item 3030.
Steering Oar Setup for Zodiac-type Boats If you want to sail but also have your outboard mounted on the transom and ready for action, then you can't mount our rudder on the transom. But here's an alternative to the rudder. This set consists of pivot blocks that strap to your air chambers aft of the transom, and an extra-long steering oar with fixed oarpin. Allows you to steer on either side. More Info Click Here
If you want to sail your Zodiac-type boat with our item 2009 sail rig, but also keep your outboard on the transom, one option for steering while sailing is to mount the rudder blade to the motor. All you need are: (a) This short rudder head and included square u-bolt, (b) the rudder that comes with the item 2009 sail rig, and (c) an outboard stabilizer plate you obtain elsewhere ($59 - we'll tell you where) . The short rudder head subtitutes for the standard long head and tiller that comes with the item 2009 sail rig. For explanation, pictures, and link to vendor of stabilizer plates click here
55 Sq. Ft. Nylon Sail and Spar Extension If you want to substitute this sail for the standard sail on something you are ordering today, then order item 5011 instead. This item is the 55 SF on it's own, not as a substitution. This 55 SF sail and spar extension fit any SailboatsToGo sailboat or sail rig. Heavy duty mast required. item 5011 is for upgrading. This item is for buying the sail on its own. Choice of color schemes -- see http://tinyurl.com/nylonsails for available options and let us know in the comments section of your order.
Heavy duty mast Free replacement if it ever bends or breaks in normal use. This Heavy Duty Mast fits our sailboats and sail rigs, Spring Creek and Sea Eagle Paddleski. Bottom section (which takes most strain) is twice as strong as standard mast (item 5004). Use this item to buy the mast outright, not as an upgrade.
Breaks down to less than 4 feet and weighs just a few pounds. Made of strong and light marine-grade aluminum, with nice anodized silver-color finish.
Use item 5016 instead to upgrade the mast on a sailboat or sail rig you are ordering today. (Note: Mast upgrade is free is you also select item 5011, upgrade to larger sail, and select the nylon sail option).
Snarks: This mast will not fit Sunflower and Snark sailboats. A mast that is 1/8" smaller in diameter and therefore designed to fit inside the Snark mast sleeve is listed separately.
If considering this mast for a DIY project, bear in mind that this mast is only tall enough if its base is at gunwale height (deck height) as it is on our sail kits. If you want the mast bottom to be down at the floor, you need our bottom extension to make it taller. Item 5045 is the bottom extension.
Motor rudder Attaches to the anti-cavitation plate of your ouboard by means of a u-bolt (included). You have to drill holes in your plate. Kick up blade on aluminum shaft. Blade material is phenolic.
Snap-in Motor Mount for Trolling Motor Motor mount snaps into end of our stabilizer crossbar or front crossbar of sail kit. The telescoping arm of your stabilizer float passes right through the motor mount and engages the stabilizer crossbar normally. Works great with Minn Kotas and other brands. Use with stabilizer float is required.
Electric Motor Package includes battery and charger Electric motor package designed for convenience when motoring distances planned are moderate. Includes a Minn Kota 30-lb thrust electric trolling motor (or Newport Vessels 36-lb) and a rechargeable power pack with built-in charger and power meter and carry handle. (If Minn Kota is not available we may substitute Newport Vessells 36-lb-thrust equivalent).
Contrast this package to the norm: Ordinarily, you buy a motor, then a battery. a charger and battery box. Our package is complete in one purchase and more convenient to carry, store, charge and live with in your boat.
With this package, the battery is thin and tall and can easily be strapped to a canoe thwart or inflatable-boat grab line (strap included), is not so heavy (20 lbs), has built in charger for AC; also has cord that lets you charge while you drive from car cigarette lighter. Battery unit has built-in power meter, and is in a sealed case - no worry ever about spilling battery acid! Yet it has enough power to take you 2 miles on one charge (20 amp-hour) in a small boat, under average conditions.
Sales tax on this item may be added in a separate, later charge to your card.
Want 4-mile range? Buy a second power pack (next item). One charge on one battery (about 5 cents worth of electricity) will allow you to cruise for an hour on the "3" setting (out of 5) on the speed control. Power pack is a truck jump starter and will also start your car in an emergency using its included cables. Has accessory output (cigarette lighter style socket). Motor is light (22 lbs), quiet, smooth, powerful; has 5 forward and 3 reverse speeds, extending tiller, and plenty of power for canoe or inflatable. No smell, no noise, no gasoline fumes or hazards in your boat or car. Use of motor in salt water will void warranty, but if you rinse salt off thoroughly after each use you can get away with it.
Click arrow twice to play video !! Motor mount for your canoe or inflatable sold separately (not included). Telescoping handle on motor adjusts from about 10 to 15 inches.

White Dacron Sail - 55 SF fits Sunflower and our rigs Dacron is the sail material used in sails for most larger boats, because it is more durable and holds its shape better than nylon. A nylon sail stretches more in high wind, which can reduce your upwind performance. For years, we've sold Dacron sails that are custom made as an upgrade, as an upgrade taking 6 weeks and costing more than this sail. Now this sail brings down the price and eliminates the long wait. Fits Sunflower and is the same size and shape as our other 55 SF sails. More pictures click here.

Sail and Spars Bag - Long Skinny Sack Great for Car Topping Heavy duty drawstring bag measures 12' 8" long and about 6 inches in diameter (9 inches wide if empty and flat). Fits our spars, sail and mast without folding them. Click Here for Photos. Fits spars, sail and mast of Super Snark or Sunflower. Protects the sail from flapping and shredding itself when car-topping. Keeps all these vital parts together in your garage or basement so they don't get lost or forgotten between sailing excursions. Protects sail from sun, wind and rain when stored or transported outside. If you have our folding spars and mast, you don't absolutely need a full length bag like this, but it's a nice option to save the time of folding and unfolding. Sent by US Mail if ordered by itself so please give a postal shipping address for this item. Free shipping applies if ordered with other items that carry a shipping charge. Otherwise $7 charge will be added for shipping in a separate transaction when we ship.
Upgrade rudder blade to unbreakable This item substitutes a polycarbonate unbreakable blade for the standard blade on a rudder in your present order. Cannot be ordered without ordering a rudder. Standard blade is pretty tough, but not unbreakable if you whack sideways on a rock. This will make it unbreakable. Shown here on our rudder-pin style rudder but works just as well on the clamp-on rudder.

short strap with spring lock buckle These are the short straps we use to attach sail kits to boats. Also works great to keep oars in their sockets. They are great for many other uses too. Very durable and reliable. Really nice lightweight, corrosion resistant cam buckles and 1-inch wide nylon webbing strap. About 16 inches long. Superior to the usual straps sold elsewhere because the buckles are stainless steel. Buckles made of other metals have to be heavy, clunky and hard to start the end of the strap through in order to be strong enough. These buckles are strong, corrosion-proof, and yet made of thin metal so they are light and easy to handle. We've been using these since 2008 and our experience has been uniformly great. The brand is Arno, but be careful -- not all Arno straps are stainless steel like these are.
Free shipping if ordered with something else that has a shipping cost. Otherwise, we'll add $8 for postage for up to 12 straps.
long strap with spring lock buckle About 12 feet long and 1 inch wide with stainless steel spring loaded cam buckle. Cut to any length and seal cut end by passing through a flame (use caution until it cools). Great for holding boats on vehicle roof. Always use more than minimum number of straps when car topping a boat, for safety. We also use these straps on some of our sail kits to hold kit to boat.
Free shipping when ordering something else that has a shipping cost. otherwise, we will add $7 per 5 straps or less for shipping.

Oar shaft extension Adds about a foot to our standard 7-ft flat-blade oar by snapping into the middle joint of it. Price is for one. Order 2 for a pair. Generally will ship free if we can throw them into a box with something big you ordered at the same time. Otherwise, it will be $10 shipping for one or $12 for two if we have to ship them on their own (lower 48 states pricing only). Our computers aren't smart enough to figure the shipping so we'll add it later in a separate transation.
Upgrade standard mast to super heavy duty This item upgrades a standard mast that is already in your order to Super Heavy Duty. This is an upgrade item and cannot be purchased unless a standard mast is already in your order, either as part of a sail kit or by itself. If there is a sail kit in your order, then this item will also upgrade the mast step to the larger size needed for this mast and the mast slide to larger size, both at no additional cost.
Benefits of a stronger mast: (1) Stiffer, so your boat reacts quicker when you start on a new course and no energy is lost flexing the mast; (2) stronger, so you can go out in stronger winds with a heavier boat and withstand the resulting greater forces without mast failure.
Upgrade Heavy Duty Mast to Super Heavy Duty Our Super Heavy Duty Mast is stiffer and stronger than our Heavy Duty Mast because it is 1/4" larger in outside diameter (1 1/2" instead of 1 1/4") and because all 3 sections have 1/8" wall thickness (as compared to bottom 2 sections only in the case of the Heavy Duty Mast, with the top section being 1/16"-wall).
This item is an substitution item only, which means you have to have something with a Heavy Duty Mast already in your basket and then adding this item upgrades that mast to Super Heavy Duty. If you also have something with a mast step and/or mast slide in your order, it upgrades those items too to fit the Super Heavy Duty Mast.
Super Heavy Duty Mast 8-ft. tall mast in 3 sections. 1 1/2" outside diameter. 1/8" wall thickness throughout. Anodized marine aluminum. It also has a slightly shorter setting at about 7'6". If you need the mast taller than 8 feet, add the bottom extension.
If you want a complete package with sail, spars and mast, order item 5169 or 4986 plus the upgrade to Super Heavy Duty mast. And don't forget the bottom extension if your project needs one.
Ships free if bought with enough other stuff that carries shipping charges so that this is covered. If not, we'll add dup to $15 shipping in a later, separate charge. (Higher outside lower 48 US states).
Electric Trolling Motor for Salt Water Use 45-lb Thrust Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor for salt water or fresh water, with 45-lbs. of thrust.

Cam Cleat on a Caribiner for Halyard or Sheet A clip-on cam cleat. Clip it to something on the boat for holding the halyard or sheet. Jerk the line one way and this gadget grabs and holds it. Jerk it the other way and it releases the line.
Note: Cleating a sheet always increases your risk of capsizing; although it is designed to allow quick releasing, it might not be quick enough in a sudden gust. For many, it's an acceptable risk, for the sake of not having to hold against the tug of the sail all the time.
Our price is not the best. We offer it for your convenience. You can save a few dollars by finding it on Amazon or at a Home Center ("CamJam XT 1500 lbs"). Just make sure it is the one for ropes up to 3/8", not for thin cords.
Any Kayak sail rig with inflatable stabilizers Straps onto just about any kayak and has inflatable stabilizer floats (amas) to help prevent capsizing. Adjustable for kayaks of different lengths and widths. Same rig with rigid stabilizer floats is item 6004 or no stabilizers is item 6020. The advantage of rigid stabilizers over inflatable ones is much lower drag if submerged by strong winds. But under most conditions the inflatables work very well. And they are more portable.
Please send us an email after ordering width and type of kayak. Folds to compact bundle less than 48 inches long.

The Any Kayak Sail Kit Without Stabilizer Floats Like item 6004 kayak sail rig, but without the stabilizer floats. There are a few kayaks that are wide enough, with flatish bottoms, so that they can be sailed without stabilizer floats if you have reasonable skill and some tolerance for capsize risk. This is also the sail rig for dinghies that can't use item 2001 or item 2009 because they lack the right attachment points on the stern. Regarding kayaks: A flat-bottomed hull, combined with some weight up front (a passenger, or some inanimate ballast like a sandbag or water bag) can provide a lot of stability. If later you find you want the floats, it's easy enough to add them -- the float arms just slide right into the front crossbar and lock in place with spring buttons. Regarding dinghies: This is just like item 2001, except this rig has additional sections that extend the side rails so they reach all the way to the rear crossbar and attach to it, stabilizing it so that it doesn't depend on having motor mount fittings or a stern handle to attach itself to. Regarding both: Email us describing your boat after purchase so we can give you the right width for front crossbar.

Fishing Boat Sail Rig Everything you need to sail your fishing boat in a compact folding kit that just clamps on and away you go. No drilling or other modification of your boat is needed. This is intended for aluminum, fiberglass and plastic open boats. The gunwale clamps grab underneath the little horizontal lip that almost all such boats have at the top edge of the sides. If your boat has no lip, we can provide a bolt-on bracket that the clamps can mate with for $19 additional.
The rig includes a 45 s.f. nylon sail (red-white-blue-yellow), spars, mast, mast step (socket), frame that clamps to the boat and accepts the mast step and leeboard mounts, leeboards, gunwale clamps, a rear crossbar that goes just forward of the transom and provides pivot points for the ruddering oar, and a special wide-bladed ruddering oar and oarlock. You can even sail with an outboard mounted on the transom, because our ruddering oar (steering oar) system has many alternate pivot points: If the center positions are blocked by an outboard, use one of the side positions. If you prefer a traditional rudder, see .
Deluxe Fishing Boat Sail Rig Just like item 7000 (so please read that item) but in a deluxe package: Includes larger 55 SF nylon sail, spar extension, heavy duty mast, heavy-duty carrying bag. This is the steering oar version, which is the version that works with an outboard motor on the transom. The steering oar also has an advantage over a traditional rudder in that you can turn the boat with it even if you have no forward motion. A rudder requires the boat to be moving in order to work. A steering oar does not, so you can't get stuck "in irons" (pointed head-on into the wind and not moving). But a steering oar puts a little more strain on your arm than a rudder does in a strong wind.

Fishing Boat Sail Rig Deluxe Package 2 Same as item 7001 except steering is by a traditional rudder. Install two eyebolts (included) on your transom to accept rudder pin or buy our clamp-on rudder upgrade if you don't want to install eyebolts into your transom. Includes larger sail, stronger mast, and carrybag as described in item 7001.

Rudder with kick-up blade, aluminum body, tiller and rudder pin. Requires two eyebolts (included) be mounted to boat's transom to accept rudder pin. Shown here on a soft transom inflatable with our rudder-mount kit, which is not included in this item. For this rudder with the rudder mount kit for soft-transom inflatables see item 2044. To upgrade this rudder at time of ordering to substitute a polycarbonate blade (lighter, unbreakable) order this item 7003 plus item 5193 .

Porta-Bote Adapter Package Everything you need to adapt the Fishing Boat Sail Rig (item 7000, item 7001, item 7002) to the Porta-Bote. Consists of secondary front crossbar and gunwale clamps for it, plus 3 pairs of bolt-on brackets ("false gutters"). No additional shipping when purchased with a sail kit. The price below assumes we are deleting the regular gunwale clamps from a sail kit ordered at the same time and substituting special clamps for the Porta-Bote. If that's not the case, and there is no deletion of clamps, we will add $20 in a second charge against you card. We will also add $12 (total $32) for shipping.

Fishing Boat Sail Kit with Center Rudder Like item 7000 but with rudder steering instead of steering oar steering. This is a rudder that requires mounting two eyebolts (included) to the transom of your boat. For clamp-on rudder substitution, add item 7008 to this item.
Clamp-on rudder - great for dinghies, square-back canoes, inflatable tenders, Walker Bay 8 0r 10, etc
Complete rudder with sturdy clamp-on mount that allows up-down and tilt adjustment. Kick-up blade allows beaching and protects against damage from underwater objects. Use on square-back canoe, rowboat, Walker Bay 8 or 10, fishing boat, inflatable transom boat (Zodiac and similar). Even mount on side of canoe using a canoe motor mount. Clamps to transom or motor mount just like a trolling motor. Launch Video Click Here See item 7008 if you want to substitute this rudder for a non-clamp-on rudder in a sail kit you are ordering.
Optional push-pull tiller system: (See pictures click here.) . If conventional swing tiller is a problem in your installation, add our Tiller Turner option. This offsets the tiller motion to the side and converts your arm motion to push-pull instead of side to side. For example, mount rudder beside a motor, and tip up one or the other, depending on which you are using. The swinging tiller might hit the tipped-up motor, but the push-pull Tiller Turner will solve that problem. See: Item 2017 Tiller Turner for more info on this option.
Optional Unbreakable Blade Upgrade: Standard blade is phenolic (black trapezoid), and it's pretty good. But if you want a longer, more unbreakable blade upgrade to our polycarbonate blade by adding this item to your order: Click Here
