These are some of the best plans I have seen for this type of sail, just thought I'd put them on here for anyone interested.

Looking at them for the same reason going to put a sail on the PA and a seat on the back for the kids to play around with.
Just like to make it fool proof. Problem is their smarter than me so can't say idiot proof.

they work pretty well to and with a bit of fiddling with them you can get to do a run 90 deg to the wind and maybe a small amount to windward

I found the base of the masts needs a bit of a thinkto hold every thing tight Phils sail works ok down wind but because of the bottom of the masts not being controled the sail fails with a cross wind

by the way I've had 11.2 kmh on the gps sailing the kingy with the vee sail
