The TW70 is the smallest Tradewinds sail. At 0.7 sqm, the TW70 is perfect for coastal exploration and expeditions on smaller sea kayaks or in strong or unpredictable winds. It is also popular for inland waters on more recreational-type boats.
Made from a mylar/scrim/mylar tri-laminate, designed to be both tear & UV resistant, with a very cool modern look which also allows you to see through the sail at the approaching conditions.
Flat Earth Sails are manufactured in Sydney, designed by the late Mick MacRobb.

Kayak sails exert down-pressure on your fore-deck and it may be necessary to reinforce your deck prior to fitting.

Having a short surf ski crossover kayak, the sail fitted perfectly. It's worth watching the online instruction video before you start.
The position of the backstays are very important, put too square, the sail pulls over, put too far back, the sail falls to the side.
I replaced the stays with heavier cord, installed captive clamcleats, and central main sheet pulley.
Overall a well built and thought out sail.
