Update from Test Sailing the Triyak

My sailing club offers great opportunities to test new designs against other sailboats during weekend races. Although the triyak handled well in tacking and gybing, it did not meet my expectations on the race course. For the amount of sail area, it was relatively slow. It was overly complicated. It was a good try but no cigar! I disassembled the rig and sold the kayak. I had better ideas to explore.
