    Interesting. too …
    Interesting. too bad wind makes noise in mike. I sail a 2 masts sail canoe rigged as lugger sails and sailed 90 miles on Lake Toro north from Montreal. My relative was amazed by the performance…2 outriggers to a canoe make a sail nice, easy, fun and safe. I would’nt have done it without them.
