HELL YES kayaks. I just got a bimini top for my Outback. That was a great decision in the summer heat.

I was looking at the sail kit Hobie makes for my Outback, and the consensus seems to be that while it works and will provide propulsion, medium to stiff breezes will put you over without outriggers. Several people also noted that you are going to want a sail you can furl if the wind suddenly starts gusting so you can avoid capsizing. I still think the idea is cool enough that I decided to go a different direction and buy something designed for sailing.

If you want a barebones VHF radio that floats and flashes, the GPS Store has the ICOM M25 for $120 shipped which is a pretty decent deal (I just bought one and it seems fine).
