Scrubbing the Sit-in Kayak Platform for Sailing

Concerning the idea of using a sit-in kayak as a platform for designing a sailing kayak without outriggers, I have decided to scrub that approach. Although sit-in kayaks are getting more stable, a capsize would cause it to fill like a bath tub, and self-rescuing would be difficult. Also, due to the narrow beam of a kayak, you need to be able to shift your weight quickly to compensate for wind gusts, more so than in a typical small sailboat. For these reasons, I am changing my kayak of choice for a non-outrigger sailing design to a sit-on-top. There are several on the market that are sufficiently stable to warrant consideration. Therefore, I am scrubbing the Pungo 120 sit-in kayak as a platform for designing a sailing kayak.
