About this Sailboat:
The puff hits and the Hobie Mirage Tandem Islands leeward ama chisels into the water, its efficient, square-topped mainsail immediately translating increased wind speed into extra boat speed. The Tandem Islands two-piece carbon-fiber rig minimizes weight aloftthus stiffening the rideand both cockpits are fitted with steerage and sail-handling controls, allowing sailors of all abilities to share the experience. Best yet, the amas, akas and rig are easily stripped, converting the Tandem Islands rotomolded polyethylene hull into a highly efficient, pedal-or paddle-powered touring kayak with enough hatches and on-deck stowage
for multi-day escapes.
