Technology:

The Sail

The WindPaddle sail is made of ½-ounce rip-stop polyester spinnaker sailcloth, the same material used on racing yachts. This material is low-stretch fabric that will not absorb water or become heavy when wet.

A large, horizontally-oriented clear window in the center panel of the sail allows for good visibility.

The Sail Seams

All of the seams are sail-taped and sewn using traditional triple-stitch zigzag sail seam construction. A triple-stitch zigzag results in a strong seam where the panels are sewn.

The “Mast” (there is no mast)

The sail needs no installation of mast or rig. The windowed sail is supported by a laminated and non-corroding high-modulus yet highly elastic and virtually unbreakable perimeter batten. This batten can be deformed (twisted, bent) yet will still return to its original circular shape. The batten allows the sail to be coiled into thirds (18% of its original size!) for compact stowage and storage.

The “Rigging"

The WindPaddle sail requires no modification to the boat or addition of separate hardware. Nick has designed a clever WindHarness (patent-pending) deck-mounting system that connects the sail to the deck of the boat using existing hardware or deck lines.

Safe & Lightweight

The unique circular design of the WindPaddle keeps the center of effort low for stability, making this the safest small-craft sail available. As wind speed increases, the center of effort remains fixed and doesn't move up or down. And it's easy to depower the sail instantly, so you're always in control.

At 13 ounces, the WindPaddle is the lightest weight sail available, and its compact size makes it convenient to slip it in under your deck pack in case you want to use it.
