[QUOTE="OutrageGIS, post: 408598, member: 13812"] I have a 14' lateen rigged sunfish, in order to get enough wind with a single sail an efficient lateen rig uses a large enough sail that I would be worried about capsizing in moderate wind in a light tin with no centerboard. I agree that a dory or sailing dinghy would handle better under sail. Are you on a dock or mooring? I would hate to rely on the wind as my only way on to my liveaboard! I have seen, however, the grumman canoes from the 70's and 80's which had a ruddered lateen rig with sideboard as an option, but I think these were mainly for calm, fresh water. [/QUOTE]
