Our Sails
Kayaks, Canoes, SOT's and Paddleboards
The unique perimeter-battened design of WindPaddle sails keep the center of effort low for stability; the lowest center of effort of any small-craft sail available. As wind speed increases, the center of effort or force remains fixed maintaining craft stability.
All WindPaddle sails are made using glued and triple-stitch zig-zag sail seam construction. A triple stich zig-zag results in a strong seam where the panels are sewn. The sail LOOKS like it was made by a sailmaker, because it is!
The sail is made from 1/2 oz. nylon "spinnaker" rip-stop sailcloth, the same material used on racing yachts. This material is low-stretch fabric that will not absorb water and become heavy when wet. Just shake the sail to dry it.
WindPaddle sails get their shape using a laminated flexible and non-corroding permimeter high modulus batten. This batten can be deformed (twisted, bent, etc.) yet will still return to its original circular shape. The batten allows the sail to be coiled into 1/3's (18% of its original size!) for compact stowage and storage.
