Great Job on your install and how everything seems to fall into place. I'm looking forward to more sailing videos once you get the hang of it. I bet you could rig a way to troll your rod behind you while sailing. Then once you get a fish on you could lower your sail and fish. I know you will be able to cover a larger area with the sail.

Awesome, Rob. Now that you got hooked with sailing and fishing, go and try the Adventure Island. You´ll love it!

The Mirage's are self-bilging. What's the bilge pump for? Edit: I saw your other videos, great electric bilge and understand offshore worst case possibility. Great work!

Hi, I've already fitted two Scotty Rod holders up front for that very purpose. I'll post more videos soon showing the complered rigging.

Is there a possiblity that you could demonstrate the construction of the mast gearing that allow you to furl and unfurl the sail quickly. Love your videos

Hi, if you do a KZfaq search for Hobie + Furl there are a few videos out there that document the construction of this device.

I have an Outback and I am considering getting the sail kit., but I was wondering.....how well does it sail into the wind ? I have heard not at all, poorly and great depending on who you talk to. What is your opinion?

I think that it sails well into the wind, I can easily tack into the wind at perhaps 40 degrees off the wind making good progress. For me it's the big selling point compared to the likes of the Pacific Action sail which is certainly not as capable. I have a couple of sailing video, I think the 'sailing trials one has me sailing up and down the wind.

That is good to hear, and thanks for the reply. Even the Hobie dealers in my area say that it is not good for upwind sailing, but I think they may be trying to upsell me to the Adventure Island, which I do plan to get the dayI can afford it. I haven't been sailing since I was much younger, and I need to get my sea legs back before I invest such a sum. I thought it may be a good idea to go with the sail kit for now.
