Hobie Tandem Island
The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island is an incredibly versatile and above all else fun kayak. The Tandem Islands puts almost every other kayak in the shade with its' performance on the water.
All the features you would expect from a Hobie kayak are here including the 4 way adjustable Vantage CT seating system, twist and lock hatches, mesh storage pockets, drink holder and deck bungee's all make for an enjoyable and practical environment and if you add the Tramp kit for more deck area you'll really have something special.
The Tandem Island comes with paddles and Hobie’s patented Mirage Drive for each passenger. The Mirage drive has been improved even more by using Glide Technology which offers reduced resistance and increased efficiency. The new 180 Mirage Drives feature fully reversible blades, meaning that you can go into reverse gear at the pull of a toggle! But the Tandem island also has an ace up its sleeve, add the two outriggers and put up the sail to realise the full potential of the Hobie Tandem Island.
Its excellent speed, range, and ease-of-use make this a unique sailing machine unlike any other sailing craft on the water and will open up a new world of touring possibilities. In its sailing form the Tandem Island kayak features a boomless, roller-furling sail rig with 8.4 square metre sail area providing excellent performance that is completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line. The sail will reduce in size to suit all abilities and wind strengths up to a force 4.
Two retractable ama's or outriggers can fold up against the side of the boat with the simple pull of a line for easy docking, manoeuvrability, and transport. The Tandem Island is loaded with additional standard features such as a dagger board; oversized "twist and stow" rudder; mast and sail cover; and an Ama / Dagger board bag. In this form the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island is an ideal kayak for touring around larger bodies of inland water, estuaries and coastlines.
The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island has been designed with ease of use in mind. Well placed lifting handles make this kayak simple to car top and then just wheel it into the water, swing out and fix the outriggers with the easy to use pop-on arm, drop the rudder, unfurl the sail and off you go.
With so many things you can add to Tandem Island from Trampoline Kits for extra space to the Hobie eVolve Motor Kit take a look by visiting our Hobie Equipment Page.
