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 Ama/Daggerboard Bag.
- The
Adventure Island will be offered in two color packages: Golden Papaya
and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully color-coordinated
sails.
