It would probably cost you $30 in parts and look very easy to make befor you spend couple hundred dollars. You can use a clear shower curtin from Target for $4.00 to make the mask.
I've seen that sail setup before - only problem with it is you are limited to dead down wind. With the Hobie sail you have the ability to tack back upwind and sail crosswind, so it's hugely more versatile. But you are paying close to $400 for the priviledge...
