just bought a jib over ebay nice colors a 11 feet luff by 4 feet foot. Since I saw a lot of posts with TI jib but impossible to find any dimensions that will be it 11x4. It should be enough for this light kayak,
I'm not an expert but imho. this huge powerfull mainsail put forward is creating pitchpoling conditions in big waves when sailing hard. So the jib I hope it will depower a bit the mainsail into strong wind. Adding also more sail in light winds( light winds are never a problem so more sail is ok)
1.Here are the mods untill now and some review
Suzuky 2.5, just rear the rear seat. It'S a great little engine for this boat, don't need more, a full fuel tank gives around 12-15 kms which is enough .The only thing is it's just too close to my left ear so I'm going to move it just behind the rear hatch.I will add some foam to make the stern larger, the rudder lines are already under the water .....and the engine is not yet completly aft.
a 500gph water pump( too much but draws only 1.6 amps) connected to a 9AH battery it will be there for my peace of mind

I just get rid of those plastic black spacer doN't need it. So I can sail from the trampolins.
