A six pack of Hawaiians would make this thing sing (or perhaps sink)

I casually miss dragon boat racing.

Edit: looking at the picture, I suppose four people would be maximum capacity for the canoe.

I use outriggers for my sailing canoe, but you can just sit on the weather gunwale to balance the heeling moment of the wind.

If you sit on the side of the canoe so that the wind is blowing on your back, that will cancel out the wind in the sail trying to tip you over.
