Our staff have all sailed the Adventure Island, and they give it a rousing 'Two thumbs up'!
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.
The Island is a new and exciting sailing experience for the accomplished sailor. It is
also an ideal boat to learn on for the non-sailor -- Just pedal your way through your
'mistakes', and pretty soon you'll find that you can sail! 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 Adventure
Island disassembles in seconds.
• 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 as an
accessory. 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 is offered in two color packages: Golden Papaya and Red
Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully color-coordinated sails.
