I am currently working on building a lightweigt sailing skiff. Follow my progress

Having been a keen sailor for many years I have always wanted to broaden the areas I explored by sailing boat. The complexity of transporting a dinghy to different sailing locations made me start to think of easier ways of getting on the water. In a round about way, that is how I got into Kayak Sailing

Kayak sailing combines the sports of Kayaking and Sailing. It opens up whole new opportunities for the adventurous at heart.

I love messing about in the garage developing new ideas for improving my sailing kayak. I find it is a great way to spend those winter evenings!

The picture in the top right shows the first development of a sail and mast step I made for my Scupper Pro. Below you can see my latest tested configuration. This is easily my favourite setup to date. In between there have been many combinations of ama / sail / leeboard.
