This is not a common sight. This boat has an old Windsurfer(tm) brand sail, of the sort that dates back to the early '80s.
Looking out over Pamlico Sound.
Interestingly, on this same trip i had been sailing a similar craft at one point. (I'm a regular windsurfer.) One of our friends had a modernized version of this sail mounted to a folding Klepper kayak - probably a smaller sail, rudder, outrigger floats to keep the boat from tipping over, I was in about 15mph of wind in the gadget and it would go quite well on a broad reach. There was a sizeable 'freeboard' mounted on one side which acted as a centerboard. For tacking, it would run out of gas heading into the wind and had to be paddled at that point, enough to get the rudder to bite and tack onto the other headidng.

This classic Maine guiding canoe was hand-crafted for me in 1980 by "Pop" Moore in Grand Lake Stream, ME. It is 23 ft. long, square-sterned, made of strip-cedar, trimmed in mahogany, with an oak keel and spruce thwarts, and fiber-glassed on the exterior. It is powered by an 8-horse outboard motor.
Son, Rick, has restored it to original condition - and it now resides with him near Tucson, AZ.
The canoe variant seems to handle just fine. The cruiser behind is GloryBe, that was built on Vashon Island in 19177. It burned and sank in 2002, but "she was rebuilt as a class project at the Marine Carpentry Program of Seattle Central Community College."
I really like how a simple canoe can turn into artwork. Have you gone canoeing lately?
