WindPaddle Scout Sail The WindPaddle Scout was recently added to our line-up as an entry-level sail to be used in low-medium winds. Solo kayakers will appreciate its ease of use, lightweight and forgiving manner. Built for the casual or recreational paddler in mind. We have built this sail with a soft batten that holds sail shape, yet is pliable enough that it almost coils/folds itself!. For an entry-level sail that will pull you quickly downwind yet easy enough for kids 8-80 to handle, the Scout is the sail to own. Target boat  solo rec. boat to touring kayak 8  15 feet. Target wind range  4  13 knots Target paddler  novice to intermediate Off-wind sailing envelope  approx. 150 degrees. Tech corner: Scout Deployed diameter - 42" (106.7 cm.)

It can be set up for instant self-launching either before sailing or while out on the water so there's no need to return to shore to launch your sail!
