Hobie Tandem Island

It is with great pleasure that we announce the newest addition to our product line-up, The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, a 18' 6" Trimaran "Sail/yak" that incorporates the patented Hobie MirageDrive® into a unique sailing machine unlike any other sailing craft on the water.

* 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 for easy docking, manoeuvrability, and transport.
* The cockpit is a stable platform, expanded to a tandem, from the Hobie Mirage Adventure Kayak, offering full versatility as a pedalling kayak when conditions are not convenient for sailing.
* The Hobie Mirage Drive allows the boat to be pedalled while under sail, or simply pedalled with the sail furled for versatility not found in any other sailboat.
* The Tandem Island is loaded with additional standard features such as a centerboard; oversized "Twist and Stow" rudder; Mast and Sail Cover; and an Ama/Daggerboard Bag.
* The Tandem Island is offered in two colour packages: Golden Papaya and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully color-coordinated sails.

* Car-topping TI with Bullhorn kayak loading device (designed and built by Maclean Outdoors)
