Chris,sounds like a lot of work. Mine can also be used as a portable party. In Florida during the summer, it rains every afternoon for a couple of hours. If we get caught out away from a tiki bar we just hit the shore and grab the radio and cooler and have our own party until the storm passes. The entire set-up weighs less than ten pounds. I only weigh 140 lbs and my team mate, Rob, doesn't weigh much more than I do.
Eric, I figured that was the reason for the post. Got it at Brands mart for around $100. It really helps during the light wind times. I almost capsized once because I had great wind and was flying the hull by myself. the radio slipped down and accidentally switched channels from Stone Temple Pilots to Barry Manilow.
