Here is another unsolicited customer video, and this one has two interesting comments: In the text description the customer posted he remarks "Assembly and rigging was very easy," and at two minutes and 8 seconds into the video (

The sail kit is well engineered and ruggedly made. You can enjoy it in moderate winds as a beginner or in strong winds up to 20 mph or even more if you have the skills and accept the risks of sailing in high winds. This sail kit is made to take it.
Comfort: The sail kit allows plenty of headroom under the sail and it does not take away any floor space in the boat.
Sailing is easy and fun. You can figure out the basics in just a few hours with the included sailing manual and be a sailor your first day on the water.
What's included: Complete sail kit with everything needed to convert your boat for sailing. Sail will be our 45-sq.-ft. white sail as shown in some of the photos with this listing. If you prefer a colorful sail or a pirate sail, that can be substituted if you contact us.
Not included but available at additional cost: A sail kit carry bag. The boat itself. (The boats are sold on Amazon and Ebay and other places.) Adapters to use the sail kit and a motor mount at the same time.
Detailed parts list: Nylon sail, mast, spars (the boom and the top spar that hold the sail), the mast step (socket that holds up the mast), metal frame that straps to the boat that everything mounts to, leeboards (fins on the sides that act like a centerboard or keel to counteract side slip so the boat can sail across the wind or tack upwind), steering unit, and one steering oar and oarpin, all necessary straps, ropes and hardware.
Other Information;
All parts are corrosion resistant.
Weight of the sail kit is only about 35 pounds including all the above parts.
No modification to your boat is required.
Set up time is about 20 minutes after you have done it a few times. Initial assembly (one time and then don't need to repeat) may take about an hour.
