No, you will need to make it with some L shaped plastic. -

I would like to see how fast other Hobie Cats can go. My top speed is 16.4 mph on my Hobie Wave. What is your top speed? -

Good sail. The best I have recorded on my '84 5.7 (original sails) is 21.3 MPH, but not on sustained runs. I can hold 20.
Drill a couple of 1/8" holes, 180* apart, at the end of your beam. Turn a short SS screw into each one to retain the end cap of the beam. If you don't secure the caps you will eventually lose them, & they are getting scarce.

Nice video !
Question, what type of Garmin wrist gps is yours ?
you are showing the boatspeed in Large digits, would love
to have one.
Found one in a camping/survival shop, but it won't display
speed in Large digits, instead it shows elevation, bearing
and speed in small digits.
So pls give me the type-number of this Garmin.
Regards, André
