Kipawa Canoe
Description
No standard sailing rig exists for the Kipawa — it's a pure paddling canoe (no sail plan, mast step, or leeboard provisions in stock form). Some owners add DIY sailing rigs (e.g., drop-in lateen, lug, or sprit sail homemade setups), but it's not a sailboat class or designed for sailing out of the box. There follows Sailrite's recommendation.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
