Hi Apalach !! I was reviewing some post at the forum and I saw your wellcome post. 13 months have past since those posts and i´ve been working on some good ideas to improve sailing on my Outfitter. I leave you a link here so you´ll see the 3.0 version of the upgrades.

The great thing is that system can adapt to every hobie kayak, no holes have been done to the hull to install it. I´m thinking now about installing a jib, larger than the first I did.
