Canoe Sailing on Hickling Broad. Harnessing the Power of the Wind. Kelly Kettle Sausage Stew.

In this video, I head out to Hickling Broad in the beautiful Norfolk Broads National park to try out my new Solway Dory canoe sailing rig.
The rig consists of a 25 sq ft lug sail held in shape with a yard and boom and fixed to a removable mast, a pivoting lee board to enable me to sail to windward and a removal rudder and tiller arm. The whole rig is completely removable for normal paddling and stows away in the canoe, set up and take down takes just a couple of minutes - giving me the option to harness the power of the wind for some serious speed and fun!
Canoe sailing is great fun in its own right, but is also very useful in extending range on longer trips and expeditions. I am hoping to make the most of it in an upcoming five day canoe trip in Scotland.
I had a fantastic time trying this rig out - pure adrenaline fuelled fun - I’m still grinning from ear to ear now!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

People underestimate canoes as sailing vessels. Efficient to windward, great gear hauler, and can go many places other boats can't go. Love this episode. Good job Simon

Anyway, I need to talking about this new speed boat you have 🤣... How fast is she now! Lol you really were blasting through the Broads dude. To think you haven’t sailed in 30 years you really did a top notch job pal. The rudder made turning so much easier than having to swap out the sail to the other side and having to hold the paddle in the front and back position. A treat to watch. The stew too 🤤, a hearty lunch for a speed boat pilot 😀. A very enjoyable video, thanks pal 👍

The way that relatively small sail whips you through the water really shows what an efficient hull shape canoes have. And, come to think of it, the old viking long boats had much the same hull shape, and they were noted for their speed and sea-worthiness. Nice job, Simon - and it looks enormous fun!

Well done Sir. I’m no sailor but I have rigged aluminum poles and old bed sheets to do some canoe sailing in my younger day. Definitely gets the adrenaline pumping when a nice gust of wind fills the sail! I never could figure out how to move forward against the wind... I never knew about a “lee board” though. That was a fun video to watch!👍🏻

Learned to sail on a Super Sailfish back in the early '60s at the Appalachian Mountain Club on Echo Lake, Mt Desert Island, Maine. You're gonna have six-pac abs by the time the summer's through! What a joy to watch. Owned a San Juan 21 swing keel then a Hunter 25.5 with a shoal-draft keel on the Great Salt Lake. What a joy sailing is! Studied up on celestial navigation just for giggles. Took a practice sextant and artificial horizon with me when I drove over-the-road. Still own my Astra 3B. Came real close to crewing on the Impatience out of Brisbane, AU, an International Offshore Racing boat converted to a cruiser, but chickened out because the conversion was VERY dicey and was afraid if she pitch-poled or rolled we'd never get out of it alive. Oh, well! Cheers, Simon.... sail on.... Spamcan

I'm thinking you could also rig some sort of a gun deck as well, a couple of 2 pounders or a couple of potato guns should make for an impressive broadside!

Great video and demo of canoe sailing. Really inspiring and informative and very practical. Also well done for bringing your own tinder and fuel. Lots of people think that burning dead wood or cones doesn't do any harm but it's always worth remembering that dead stuff provides habitat for other living things and so increase or maintains biodiversity. Also, unlike the person who left the evidence of a previous fire, your kettle is very low impact if used carefully.

A Scootland trip? Be sure your passports in date, you'll need a visa don't forget, and after getting all the jabs I hope your mandatory application to join the SNP comes through okay. I'd also add an extra couple of days to allow for the queues at border. I am only joking of course, it sounds like an epic trip you have planned, and with a great cause to support too. I wish you all well with it and look forward to following it all. I have really enjoyed watching you sail your canoe, its been years since I last went wind powered watering. One piece of advice I'd give though, run the rope from the sail around a pully, it will decrease the load on your fingers by 50%.

Great video Simon, you were really ramping on the speed, Your going to have plenty of fun on the Scotland trip, and remember, when your out on the lochs, it dont matter how hot the day is, those waters are blooming cold! wear your dry suit!, and be careful of the seals in Loch Linnhe they can be quite playful. Youd better fit a tow bar for the next time you go out with Kent Survival, poor lad will be a speck on the horizon in no time at all once you put that sail up.

"I know a nice, quiet spot around" Untz*untz*untz*.... 😂 Stoked and cannot wait for the August trip vids. And one thing I'd like to give you a compliment for: I have seen content creators asking for money for good causes, none of them ever managed it this gracefully - making it thus easier to actually give to the cause, cannot put it into better words,sry. ATB to you ,cpt. "big grin" Simon, from Germany
