I ended up ordering a 55 sq ft sail and the stabilizers. Should be a fun time.

Maiden sail today in about 10 knots of wind. First attempt failed because he neglected to send me a plate for the mast step. It sure took a while to rig; hopefully the next time is easier. I really need to work on my knots. The double oar steering also takes some getting used to.

Yeah it takes a bit of getting used to for sure. I'm always clanging my oars into each other

I already live in a port city so if anything I'll be using my nimble craft to sail upriver and strike communities that least expect it.

Hi portable boat threat, I wanna spend some time in nature this year and figure the water is a good way to go, what's the cheapest thing I should get that isn't a deathtrap? I'm seeing little inflatable kayaks online for like $25-45, are those just an awful idea? Is there some other piece of must-have equipment besides a life vest for this type of thing, something to patch holes maybe, or is that not done in the field? I'll be probably looking at water in the PA/NJ/DE/MD area to start, if that matters. Probably lakes rather than rivers, I just wanna chill for now. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, help me save money but not die please

Link those $25-45 ones. That's like inner tube price. I used an Intex K2 for years without any problems besides bad steering and getting pushed around by wind a bit. It'll also come with a skeg and a paddle. The K1 is a one person version and it's under a hundo. I thiiiink it comes with a patch kit, but most of the holes in inflatables ime come from storage. Aside from a rated vest, get a dry bag too. theflyingexecutive fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Mar 21, 2024 |

This one's $46 https://www.amazon.com/Bestway-Inflatable-Paddle-Storage-Families/dp/B09X26S258/ This is what I remembered as $25 https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Explorer-1-Person-Inflatable-Boat/dp/B00004YTPE but I guess that's because this doesn't come with the pump/paddles, the listing with them is $35. Dry bag? Makes sense! Seems like they're not too expensive. E: The K1 would be this, right? https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Challenger-1-Person-Inflatable-Aluminum/dp/B00177J4JS/ Brut fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Mar 21, 2024 |

The cheaper inflatable kayaks will take more effort to keep moving, catch any wind or currents easier and get blown around, and not track in a straight line as well, but they'll probably get you out there to see if you enjoy it and then you can decide if you want something nicer. Dry bag is a good suggestion.
