Works ok but not like I thought it would. If you rig it up correctly then it can be helpful and fun (fast). I got caught in a heavy storm and it helped me quickly cruise back to my dock safely in about 1/4 the time it would have taken to paddle. I have three sit on top kayaks so they rig up to them pretty easily. These were cheap to buy but if I would have made my own sail I could have come up with a more useful controllable design.

I've never had a sail on my sea kayak before, so didn't want to spend $130 on the name brand one just to find out it's not my thing or worth the trouble. Very glad I purchased this though. Very cheaply priced for what you get. It's been on my boat for two trips now and performed well. The stitching and materials do seem pretty cheap, but it's held up surprisingly well so far. I'm also surprised, but of course glad, it came with as many straps and hardware as it did. It even came with a carrying bag! However, fitting it in the bag is a hassle, so I just keep it under a bungee strap on the deck of my boat when not in use. I'm sure I'll regret this eventually, as it's exposed to UV rays and sticks and whatnot, but having it accessible at a moments notice is nice. I was relieved to find it's VERY easy to deploy while paddling as the winds shift. No need to pull over to dry land to set it up. When the wind dies just give it a twist and tuck it back under the bungee again! The clear plastic is crinkly and not real clear for seeing though but definitely better than not having it at all. Despite the cheap materials, I would recommend this product. Good design, and VERY reasonable price. Heck, if it can save you from a few miles of paddling on one trip, it's worth it! Plus it makes you look smarter than all those other kayakers who are paddling!!

Product shipped and arrived on time. Great little sail to move you along on a day with a steady breeze. This sail will not turn your kayak into a sailboat. It worked great on my son's 6' kids kayak so I bought one for my daughter's kayak. These are fun little sails but you're not winning any races with them. Pops up easily, getting it folded back up is a little tricky but you'll figure it out if you are patient. Not a bad thing for the money.

I watched you tube videos. Used a little trial and error, and got it to work. Be careful of the clips at the bottom, they aren't tied well. When I got home they were untied and one was missing. But when I got it going it was a great ride.

Item looks great. Quality materials. Can't wait til summer
