Building an Improvised Canoe Sail

A diamond raft for canoe sailing with an A frame.  Plus a few other ideas.  The diamond raft and A-frame works well in lesser winds and smaller lakes. When it gets big I prefer to separate the canoes and use either a single bit of timber across the carrying thwarts or two pieces across at front and back.
