The Hobie Kayak Experience
 |
It is with great pleasure that we announce the
newest addition to our product line-up, The Hobie Mirage Adventure
Island, a 16' Trimaran "Sail/yak" that incorporates the patented Hobie
MirageDrive ™ into a unique sailing machine unlike any other
sailing craft on the water. Here are the features that make the Adventure
Island so special:
- A boomless, roller-furling sail rig similar to the rig on the
Hobie Bravo with plenty of sail area for excellent performance,
completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line.
- Two retractable amas that fold up against the side of the boat,
again with the simple pull of a line, for easy docking, maneuverability,
and transport.
- The cockpit is the stable platform of the Hobie Mirage Adventure
Kayak, offering full versatility as a pedaling kayak when conditions
are not convenient for sailing. All 2007 model year Adventure Kayaks,
including the Fish model, will have inserts molded into the hulls
so that they may be upgraded to an Adventure Island with a kit
available through the Parts Department. The ama colors will be
limited, and the Adventure Island will cost more when purchased
via an upgrade kit rather than purchased initially as a complete
boat package.
- The Hobie
Mirage Drive allows the boat to be pedaled while under sail,
or simply pedaled with the sail furled for versatility not found
in any other sailboat.
- The Adventure Island is loaded with additional standard features
such as a daggerboard; oversized "Twist and Stow" rudder;
Mast and Sail Cover; and an Aka/Daggerboard Bag.
- The Adventure Island will be offered in two color packages:
Golden Papaya and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully
color-coordinated sails.
