Flat Earth Kayak Sails - A Whole New World!
Flat Earth Kayak Sails are revolutionary new sails that will change how you think about sea kayak sailing.
The shaped, battened sails are designed by sailmakers specially for kayaks. The result is a lightweight, responsive sail that's a joy to use. It's robust, simple to deploy and stow and doesn't get in the way of your paddling. The kit comes with easy-to-follow fitting instructions and it's simple to transfer the sail between kayaks.
Flat Earth Sails were developed in Australia by Mick MacRobb where they have a huge following. The sails have now been extensively tested in Scottish waters by well-known kayaker Douglas Wilcox. He says "Mick's design is absolutely stunning. It's a proper sail, made by an expert sailmaker. I have literally been blown away by these sails."

You can buy the sails from Kari-Tek either online or at our Ayrshire showroom. And we have sails fitted to 4 of the kayaks in our demo fleet, so come along and try for yourself!
If you're based on the South Coast of England, Flat Earth Kayak Sails are also available from Poole Bay Canoes, www.poolebaycanoes.co.uk or phone 01202 901550.

Karitek are working with Flat Earth Kayak Sails to further refine the mast and rigging for the European market. Flat Earth's Mick MacRobb says "With Karitek's engineering background and particularly their experience with aluminium, I have every confidence that there is potential for Flat Earth Kayak sails to evolve with refinements from us here in Australia and our new partners in Scotland."
