Mostly just lurk anymore (anymore?  I mostly just lurked when I lived down there as well  :smt044 ) as I'm in the PNW now.  Figured as I'll be roadtripping through in a few weeks I'd put a WTB here for a sail kit and/or ama kit.  If anybody is looking to get rid of one or both let me know and we'll work something out!

Thanks.

Good luck. I've been trying to buy some used Sidekick amas for a while now.

I am in the midst of the same sort of cyborg thing adapting a hobie sail to a non hobie pedal yak (Wavewalker). I am on my 4th major revision of a ez roller furling setup and will post results. Have ordered a set of the castle craft kayak stabilizers as the hobie sidekick amas look rinky dink to me like arm floats for little kids LOL. Pic of the stabilizers here

I think I'm next in line for the next Hobie sail that is offered up.  Ha! 
Good luck finding one used.

If you are in the Portland area my buddy has a sailing kit for sail. If you send a PM to J-Fek aka joe on NWKA he can hook you up. It's brand new, never used.

Those should be easy to ship as well.

five feet commands a premium shipping fee.  At least that's what cabelas tells you if you try and buy a one piece rod from them

I've got a sail that I would like to sell or trade for any of the below:

PDF
Marine Radio
Dive Knife
Plyers
GPS/Fishfinder
Spare Paddle

Obviously I haven't gotten the basics yet :smt001

Sail comes with a homemade outrigger and gib.  The previous owner put a rivet thru the mast I guess to make it more stable, so it will need to be re-modified.  The top of the sail where it sits on the top of the mast is a little worn.

Pictures can be seen in this thread.  If you want the motor it's for trade or sale as well.
