For the Weary Trailer Sailor

There was a time when I was kinda tired of pulling boats behind me in order to go sailing anywhere. It cost a lot of money to pay for trailer plates and registration. Plus, there was the added pain of having to put the trailers on blocks in the winter to keep the tires good.

So, I was kind of excited when I found out Klepper started making kayaks with sails. Klepper is the leading manufacturer of kayaks that you can pack into a duffle bag. Unfortunately, the Aerius with a sailing kit costs upwards of $3700+, and although maintaining boat trailers was expensive, it wasn’t that expensive.

So I recently got another announcement from Klepper-Grabner. I suppose their sail kits were a hit with some people, because they’ve made. . .
