That looks awesome! We just acquired a Hobie Outback and Revo 13. Looks like sailing may be an upgrade for next season. Thanks for posting.

Gotcha

Is there a dagger board or a center board at all?

Sam Root - 8 years ago

+BloodSweatnBassOutside no the mirage drive acts as the dagger

I'm interested in the pedals. How are they propelling the kayak? Do they power up a small motor, or are they attached to paddles beneath the kayak?

Len Baird - 8 years ago

Hobie Calls it a "Mirage Drive" and the pedals move two flippers under the boat which move like penguin flippers to propel you.
I have used one for years and it works great and is durable and well made.

Looks like a better way to escape Northern Africa and get to Europe. Than a clandestine merchant ship.

Great!
I ordered a new PA14 just before Christmas (2014) and was torn between buying the eVolve motor kit or the sailing kit to go with it. In the end, I opted for the motor Anyway, now you have had the sailing kit for a couple of years - assuming you haven't moved on to bigger and better, as they say - how have you found the use of the sailing addition with your fishing etc?? Has t proved worth the outlay or is it something you loved at first but grew to loathe?
Many thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it!

Looks great, I've been considering one for my Pro Angler to assist with the travel to and from distant fishing spots. Paddle, pedal, or sail, Hobie has ya covered.

Tiberius Maximus - 9 years ago

these are peddle powered as well?

hobiephil - 9 years ago

+Gary B Yes

Mike Banaszak - 10 years ago

Very nicely done video. I have a Revo and an Oasis, and a sail would work on both, so I'll be getting one now.

Raul Ressano Garcia - 10 years ago

jb42jb - 10 years ago

1800 for the kayak 370.00 for sail kit 180.00 for the out-riggers. i just bought one it was a 11' 6" revolution with sail kit and out-riggers. it is alot of money but comes with a 2 year warranty but will last for years.

OMGWUNSIU - 11 years ago

You're flying! Very cool. Much better than a trolling motor

PhilthyMr Basty - 11 years ago

You could go trolling ! Very cool. How much was the whole set up?

TheMonkdad - 11 years ago

I've been wanting to get back to sailing for 15 years now. This would be great for crossing the larger lakes between the river runs I do.

Paul Cauthen - 11 years ago

Can this sail be used with a different Kayka like one set up for fishing? I am thinking about trolling>

Skymax - 11 years ago

The inflatable outriggers worked a lot better than i thought they would because they dont look much but you can really take the Revo out in some wind and it wont roll over. Lots of fun well worth the cost.

Beware fish aren't the only living things that can get ( HOOKED ) They say adding a sail to a Hobie can catch many who take the bait.

RUDYAKAHALIBU77 - 12 years ago

You guys converted that Hobie Kayak into a Sailing vessel fast, and a great place to install for a test run how sweet. For a first time out you ride like a pro congrats for learning the ropes and sharing it will all of us.
