That image is of another Cat 27, not mine. It looked it worked pretty well. I would imagine it might hinder vision some but no worse than a 150 when close hauled and heeled over a bit.

(Thanks, Joe!). I'm interested to know how it works-out! Joe (and others!) -- Do you use it frequently? How to you manage jibes (it looks like you're using a 170 Genoa, as mine)? What about boarding & disembarcing from the kayak? (I'm OK working from shore, but how do you get into it, and get out of it, from the stern ladder?!!) Thanks!
