rolling with the mast up is purely done to demonstrate the capability of sculling versus a sweep stroke, for rolling. Admittedly rolling with the mast collapsed (not rigged) is easier :-) The kayak is a composite Valley Nordkapp LV
@@dugmc9708 I don't know what level 3 ACA is but I assume some kind of accreditation for teaching? I don't have any sanctioned certificates and I much prefer the non-mainstream style of paddling with a traditional paddle that allows me grated control with my kayak, specifically in the waves and while rolling/self rescuing. In reality it's just time spent on the water in conditions that are a bit testing: that teaches me how to kayak properly instead of just fast paddling :-)
Not sure if I understand your question: the roll speed is reduced by the sail resistance.The recovery from a capsize is performed by sculling instead of a single sweep and "hip flick". So far I have never seen anybody be able to roll with sail deployed in a conventional C-to-C roll
Great stuff!
thanks great video
Impressive rolling, with the mast up, in a steady wind.
What kind ok kayak is that? Valley?

I thought it was a Vally. I would imagine it weighs about 50 pounds. A true beauty.
Can I also assume that you're at least a level 3 ACA?

Nice rolling. What keeps the sail from blocking the roll underwater?
