into the ‘v’jam.

Step 5: Insert mast into base and attach stretch cord to hook at mast base.

TIP: Tie the end of the mainsheet in a knot after sliding it through the ring at the seatback strap connection point. This helps keep the end of the line from falling into the water if you should happen to lose your grip.

Finish by attaching the forstay to the bow ring and adjust slack until mast and sail are straight and snug.

Step 7: Run the mainsheet from the sail, through the rear pad-eye, and up through the right clip on your seat. This configuration allows you to steer with your left hand and control the sail with your right.

Mirage Inflatables specifications

Hobie Mirage Inflatables are a premium line of inflatable kayaks and paddle boards that blend performance, durability, and innovative technology. Designed for both recreational paddlers and serious adventurers, these inflatables offer an enticing option for those looking to explore lakes, rivers, and coastal waters without the hassle of transporting traditional kayaks.

One of the standout features of Hobie Mirage Inflatables is the MirageDrive system. This unique pedal system allows users to propel the kayak using their legs rather than just paddling with their arms. This innovative design significantly reduces fatigue during long excursions, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings on the water. The MirageDrive is equipped with efficient fins that provide excellent speed and maneuverability, making it a great choice for both leisurely paddling and more challenging conditions.

Another notable characteristic is the construction of the inflatables themselves. Hobie utilizes high-quality materials, ensuring durability and resistance to punctures and abrasions. They incorporate a drop-stitch construction technique, which makes the kayaks and paddle boards rigid when inflated, providing stability similar to that of traditional hard-sided craft. This rigid construction not only enhances performance but also instills confidence in users, particularly in rougher waters.

In terms of design, Hobie Mirage Inflatables come with a range of customizable features. Most models are equipped with adjustable seats for optimal comfort, ample storage options, and integrated fishing rod holders for anglers looking to enjoy a day on the water. The inflatables are also designed with portability in mind, featuring lightweight designs that make them easy to transport and store. They come with convenient carry bags, allowing users to effortlessly pack up and go.

Hobie Mirage Inflatables are also equipped with additional technologies such as easy-to-use inflation systems, assuring that setup is quick and hassle-free. Many models include integrated fishing accessories, like tackle storage and coolers, further enhancing their appeal to fishing enthusiasts.

Ultimately, Hobie Mirage Inflatables offer a perfect mix of innovation, performance, and convenience. Whether you’re fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying time on the water with family and friends, these inflatables provide an exceptional experience that reflects Hobie’s commitment to quality and water sports excellence. With such a solid combination of features and technology, they are a smart choice for anyone serious about enjoying the great outdoors on the water.
