ooh ah, do I buy one of these for the tarpon or just skip it and get a TI for the wife, I mean the kids, yeah yeah that's it.

Very nice mate, between the PA sail and the fins it must be a nice cruise back in, when the wind works out for you at least

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy these direct from PA???
Really don't want to pay the middle man...
Ideally I'd buy the sail sheet itself, as i'm designing a sail adapter to fit the outback mast receiver...

Hey Cruiser, at risk of appearimng ignorant , what have you got going on there? i.e. what yak is it and whats the go with the sail? I dont know anything about sailing a yak, but it looks lie you've got it going on

[cruiser]

Hi Yacker,its called a pacific action sail and they have been around for a few years now, my yak is a hobie adventure but these sails will fit most yaks ,they come in different sizes for each application .Ive only had it for a short time now but find it easy to use even for a novice like me and I know nothing about sailing ,trolling is no problem with the sail at the front and at times have caught and released several snook and sambos while under sail,only early days yet so plan to do a full report a bit later on the pros and cons .Just to give you a taste a few weeks ago down at Torquay I launched in a 15 knot north westerly and the yak was smokin and at the other end of the scale going across the wind in about 5 knots at Lorne picked up a flattie while bouncing a sp across the sand .At this point in time Im one happy yakker

cheers cruiser

Great to see you are loving the sail and even more important, getting quite proficient by the looks Geoff. PS nice pic mate

Hey swivels, how would the hinges and telescopic legs off a tripod go ? Just a thought

Hi Elm
Telescopic masts would be awesome but at this point i'm looking at 20mm alu tubing with 2mm wall thickness...
This just a concept for now, the hobie mast receiver will allow the bottom part of the sail to rotate, this I think would be more efficient in the side wind than the "fixed" version or i'll tip every 10 seconds


I'm actually surprised PA don't make a sail to fit hobies

One of the best things I have added to the yak Eddie ,dare I say it fishing is almost secondary

Hi swivels
PA sails will fit most yaks and my yak is a hobie adventure ,they are made to fit at the front of yak so they can be folded down and out of the way when its not being used ,I have had the yak out in 15 knot winds with the pa sail and tipping wasnt a issue ,over 20 knots they tell me its white nuckle territory but you should not be out there in a yak anyway.
Im no expert but hope this helps

cheers cruiser
