Setting Up Your Sailing Canoe Rig

"The placement of you and your sail rig in the canoe is part science and part of the art of sailing well. In order to sail safely and under control, it is essential to obey the physical laws of balance. In order to sail with aplomb under challenging weather conditions, it is essential to understand how to balance your rig. The best part about sailing a canoe is that you learn about the harmony of the elements inside the canoe with those elements outside the canoe. One note of warning: it is not quick and not as easy as it looks!"
