Hobie Mirage Adventure Island Report
The initial look at this boat for somebody who has never sailed before might seem complicated and difficult to understand. It is quite the opposite really, very easy to assemble, just snap the outriggers in, slot the mast in place, and off you go!
There are only two things you need to think of when sailing. Steering, and holding the sail line. There is one line to let the sail out, and one line to let the sail in. It could not be simpler! For a complete novice like me I picked it up within a few minutes!
I was very impressed with the speed reached in sheltered water with light breeze (7knts)
This super stable trimaran platform aids confidence and brings a smile from ear to ear.
Overall very simple, well thought out quality product. Paddle, pedal, or sail it’s up to you! From the complete novice to experienced, all will love this, and will not want to leave the water.
