I'm not a sailor, so I'd be curious to know how well it would work in a Sunfish. You wouldn't really hit wind until you reached Wentworth. So, you might have to paddle through the Smith River, and it's a pretty good distance from Mast Landing through the Smith River to the point where it meets Wentworth. I'm not sure how easy a Sailfish or Sunfish is to paddle.

Also, keep in mind that the afternoon wind typically picks up from the NW on Wentworth. It can be tough paddling a canoe/kayak from the middle of Wentworth to the Smith River inlet in even a moderate NW wind.

Having said that, it is a beautiful lake for any paddle or sail boat. Definitely worth the effort.
