Used the sail a few times so far it takes a little to get use to but once you get going it will really push you along.After a long day of fishing its real nice to just kick back and let the wind take you home.I beleive that if you have a rudder system to steer with it would really help out.When you use your paddle to steer it does slow you down unless you pull the paddle instead of using it for drag on one side.overall it is a great purchase.

After watching the folding videos and mastering this "art", we launched into a nice breeze that carried us much further and faster than we had anticipated. Quality construction, but a bit light on the instructions on how to use the sail in the included brochure. If you have a computer, bone up ahead of time in their FYI's and videos. Basically, it's a novel sail that is fun to use and really works. It helps with the paddling, easily pushing the canoe faster than you can paddle. We'd recommend the sail, with the knowledge that you eventually need to paddle back up wind. I'd suggest a "Downwinder" or do your upwind paddling first.
