hobie mirage revolution sail kit modification 

This is an excellent modification. I used it on my 2019 Hobie Compass. The only difference is the length of the PVC pipe. For the Compass, the length is 14 3/4" (inclusive of the end caps). Also, the rigging he describes (blocks, cleats and locations are perfect. Thank-you

Excellent setup. I just purchased a used Hobie revolution with mirage drive and sail. I plan to set this system up and add outriggers when Christmas comes. Thanks.

Hi. I just wanted to come back and Thank You for the Great video. I have a tandem AI, and my wife a Hobie Sport with a sail kit. I copied your suggestions exactly, and it worked Fantastic ! It was difficult and a few times dangerous before the modifications. We had a wonderful summer sailing everyday on Cape Cod. I have even shown my Hobie dealer your video, and how I copied you. Sense we spend most of our time on the Ocean, I also added the inflatable pontoons, I would highly recommend them.

Excellent work. I tried to setup exactly like your. The only issue I have is I can't open the sail. I can close the sail. It won't spin to open.

Great, no nonsense video. Thanks for the concise descriptions. Just got my sail today and plan on implementing your design. Thanks again!

Thank you! Great straight forward explanation. I know you posted this 9 years ago! But hoping you might be able to answer my Q... I can't seem to get the PVC pipe to stop riding up towards the sail (causing the sail to get hung up)

This is a great video! I made a furler, tie the line to the middle hatch. I read it on on the Hobie Forum. I am going to eventually finish with the cleats. Thanks!

Great engineering, makes it more enjoyable to sail the hobie . Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the info. I just bought a Hobie 2011 Revoultion. I should pick it up this coming weekend. Do you happen to remember the length of line you used for the main sheet? What size hardware for mounting the blocks? Thanks, Steve

@Charlietuna49 Most Marine stores have them...i.e. West Marine...they have a whole section for all of the parts you see in the video.....the quick block (or other similar name) is the most expensive at about $40

Thanks stacks for the effort of making this video and sharing it. It's a great idea.

I just bought a Revolution 11 Hobie now sells a furling kit. Have you evaluated that? Your home-made looks nice. I don't get what you were saying about the knot going in at the left, etc. I'd appreciate anyone's written explaination. Thanks

Great mods, all the more I want a hobie. Would give you a thumbs up but its disabled.

looks like more hassel than what its worth ,cramping that small boat with to much gear ,when you catch a fish alot of things to get hung up on

Thank you for posting this great idea for the furling tube. The sail mast looks very flexible. When pulling the sheet line to deploy the sail does the mast want to flex and bind making deployment difficult? I can't wait to get to the hardware store.

Great mods! Going to help get setup right this summer

Thanks for the video. Did you end up removing the rubber band that holds the sail down? I'm having a hard time putting the blue rope through the hole in the sail. Thanks.

Thanks for making this great video. I'm about to get a sail and I will definitely use your control system. I noticed when you take the sail down completely and lash it to the side, you didn't seem not remove the furling line or the mainsheet. Do you just give them enough slack to move the sail and then snug them back up? Lines stay out of the way? If so, I'm happy because I thought I'd have to detach all my lines each time!

Will this modification work on the Hobie Mirage Outback (also has sail in front)? Seems to me that it would. Once I dig it out of storage, I'll have a much better idea!

nice customizing, where did you buy the cleats

Great Video. Need to get ordering from ACK :)

nice video! thank you!

Hi, Where can I get the "quick block?" Thanks, Steve

West marine or other marine store
