does it include the kayak - Where did you find a $400 kayak?
Some one said that this is not for upwind. Nobody has found a way to use it for upwind or diagonal? - It cannot go upwind and I don't believe it can tack into the wind diagonally like a sailboat as it is not designed that way. The wind just literally pushes the sail so it must come from behind.
how small does it break down? Can it fit in the Kayak bag? - Mine came in a zipped bag. It fit right in the space behind my seat in my kayak. When in the zipped bag it was the size of a medium-size round Weber kettle barbecue lid.
Will this sail work on a canoe? - Yes, I believe this will work great on a canoe, depending on the length of canoe you may have to extend the three controller lines, easy. I really like this sail, it’s one of the few things that just worked great out of the box and is very well constructed.
