Does anyone have experience with the "Scully-Fin" sail kit for use on an inflatable dinghy? It was sold at sailboat shows and by West Marine, and I believe production ceased a couple of years ago. I have one that I have used several times on my 9' Zodiac and it has actually worked pretty well. However, I consistently encounter problems tacking it around. I am wondering if anyone else has used the rig if you have encountered the same problem. If so, have you found a resolution? It has been fun to sail the inflatable, until time to tack and then the fun turns to complete furstration. If you have used it and have any tips I would appreciate hearing them... Thanks!

Tacking the inflatable

Rob, I don't know anything about the Sculley kit but instead of tacking across the wind have you tried bearing off and gibing onto the new tack? Ray T
