Hobie Kayak Sailing Kit installation video 

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.

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.

you forgot to attach the downhaul... the shockcord on the bottom of the sail should be attached to the post at the bottom of the mast... keeps the sail tight and keeps it from lifting up the mast.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Delightful video.Very informative.Gratzie!

Gona necro this post to ask why you used a masonry drill bit for plastic?

Looks good! I use this outrigger on my foldingkajak with 5qm sailaria

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

Looks good, would work well here in the UK

Curious to know if the peddle fins down act like a good enough center board without having a drop skeg/dagger board? Or still should be added?

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.

Really helpful. Thank you guys.

No stays, no shrouds?

brilliant

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

these are peddle powered as well?

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?

can someone tell me the diameter of the mast?

Great video, thank you for sharing!

estupendo sistema y sencillo gracias

I want one!

How do you furl it though. I haven’t seen anyone do it yet. I’ve sailed the tandem island and that’s pretty straight forward. But with this one I don’t see anyway to furl the sail.

Awesome!

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

nice video, what is your kayak ? thank

very nice

Are you sailing a hobie revo 11?

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

someone give this guy a company

Gotcha

Cool 😎🆒️😎🆒️

🇧🇷

That thing is probably worth 5 grands.

See ...and Trump wants to send Jose home. :(
