| Post subject: | New Sail for Outfitter |
Hi everybody ! My questions from a beguiner I just bought Outfitter two months ago. Amazing versatility but now i´d like to know how can i improve it to sail faster? I wish to be wrong but no bigger sails for kayak are available from hobie, am i correct? In case i could make my own sail, would i need get ST turbo (bigger fins) to compensate the new bigger sail ? Perhaps any experienced sailor can help... Thanks and greetings from Spain !! |

Hey Eliseo, A hearty welcome to the Hobie Forum, and especially to someone from Espana (can't get the accent to work), since my Dad was born in Barcelona. Nope-no newer or larger sails for the Outfitter (great boat, BTW) or the other basic Mirage drive craft as yet-only for the new Adventure Island. However, a number of folks have adapted, or made, larger sails for several Hobie yaks. Especially check out Punchinello's posts, both here and over on KayakFishingStuff.com, for some really creative ideas. http://kfs.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/553103747 Good luck and have fun! Best, Dick |

Hi Apalach !! I was reviewing some post at the forum and I saw your wellcome post. 13 months have past since those posts and i´ve been working on some good ideas to improve sailing on my Outfitter. I leave you a link here so you´ll see the 3.0 version of the upgrades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feRekrABqPk The great thing is that system can adapt to every hobie kayak, no holes have been done to the hull to install it. I´m thinking now about installing a jib, larger than the first I did. Greetings from Benicasim !! |
