The Hobie Kayak Experience
 |
It is with great pleasure that we announce the
newest addition to our product line-up,Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, a 18' 6" Trimaran "Sail/yak" that incorporates the patented Hobie
MirageDrive ™ into a unique sailing machine unlike any other
sailing craft on the water. Adventure Island Video
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 a stable platform, expanded to a tandem, from the Hobie Mirage Adventure Kayak, offering full versatility as a pedaling kayak when conditions are not convenient for sailing.
- 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 Tandem Island is loaded with additional standard features
such as a centerboard; oversized "Twist and Stow" rudder;
Mast and Sail Cover; and an Aka/Daggerboard Bag.
- The Tandem Island will be offered in two color packages:
Golden Papaya and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully
color-coordinated sails.
