Warren Light Craft sailing trimaran/kayak

Man, was I surprised when I showed up at Warren Light Craft's shop in Salem, Massachusetts, to test sail their new sailing kayak. I've sailed other kayaks with add on "sailing" kits before, and the "sailing" capabilities always seemed to be more gimmick than real. Not so with Warren Warren Light Craft's 15 foot cored carbon fiber sailing kayak. It's a stiff, fast, high perfromance trimaran (all carbon construction, spectra shrouds, square topped full batten main, ruler furling jib, long traveler) that's lightweight (68 pounds all up), super easy to rig, and a blast to sail. And it's jaw dropping gorgeous to boot. I don't do this very often, but I have to give this boat (it's honestly two high end boats--superior kayak and legitimate high performance car toppable trimaran) a 10. Total rave. Check it out.

    Nice review and fantastic video. It's an amazing looking boat. Can you give a little more color on how it sails? Does it point ok, even without a centerboard?

    looks good...don't doubt the speed...but how does she handle wave-action? It looks like she takes a lot of water into the cockpit...does she have a kayak skirt?

    Yeah I would be really interested to know how it would handle in wave action as well? Surely it would have a kayak skirt?
