Downwind Spinnaker for Canoes
Featherweight Rig for Minimalist Travelers
Imagine being pushed silently by the wind as you relax in your seat, troll your favorite lure, watch the shoreline slide by...
We offer the right-sized Spinnaker Sail for any canoe or kayak.
This is a highly refined and field-proven stow-away travel rig and should never be left at home. Folded in half, the sail becomes a small airfoil sail for crosswind reaches. Instead of a leeboard, use your canoe paddle by placing it in the water where you would position a leeboard (close to the sail on the lee-side of the canoe).

Why so many people choose Easy Rider’s Downwind Spinnaker
• To minimize heeling, our Downwind Spinnaker features a symmetric, triangular shape, which places the center of effort low above the boat.
• In very strong winds, you can reef the spinnaker to half its size by folding it around the mast.
• Folded in half, the sail turns into a small airfoil sail for crosswind reaches.
• When not in use, the spinnaker stows underneath the kayak’s elastic deck tie-downs and does not restrict paddling.
• Likewise, the mast does not restrict paddling when left standing.
• Sail and 2-piece fiberglass mast make a slim two-pound package which easily stows inside the cockpit area.
• Rigging is quick and easy and can be done while out on the water.
• You like to fish? The mast base does double duty: it also accepts Fishing Rod Holder #2302.
