I have rigged my Sundowner to sail by gluing in a mast step that allows me to raise a 45 sq ft boom/spar lateen sail while adding homemade lee boards & a tiller. The seaworthiness of this canoe has proven itself in ventures to the Voyageurs Wilderness, Isle Royale, & the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage.

I raise a 45 square foot, boom & spar, lateen sail on this craft, using homemade lee boards and tiller. It has proven seaworthy in the Voyagers Wilderness. It has also, upon being carried out to Isle Royale on the Voyager II, sailed on Lake Superior. Having sailed several other canoes, this one is by far the best!
