Hobie Mirage Kayaks… The Only Kayaks That Can Do It All

Paddle kayaks do not have the necessary lateral resistance needed nor do they typically have a rudder for steering. Paddle kayaks require hands-on paddling which prohibits use of rudder and sail controls for sailing. The MirageDrive pedal system allows you to pedal out onto the water to sail and pedal back if needed. You can also pedal the boat through a tack (turn). The MirageDrive pedal system’s fins act as a keel or centerboard when in the down position offering the lateral resistance needed for upwind sailing. Hobie Mirage kayaks are equipped with a hand-controlled rudder. The MirageDrive allows hands to be free for sail and rudder controls.

SAIL KIT includes 2-piece mast, sail (20.25 ft²), lines, and storage bag.

Add the large rudder #81397001 for more responsive rudder control.

For hard shell Mirage kayaks only. for i-series kayaks please purchase the i-Series sail kit.
