I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Hobie Kayak Sail Furler Kit

Description

The Hobie Kayak Sail Furler Kit is going to make sailing a whole lot more simple. Instead of rolling up your sail by hand, this easy-to-install rigging kit can be added to any Mirage kayak sail kit. Kit comes complete with all the hardware you will need and installation is simple. See the Instructions on the Resources tab.

The Hobie Kayak Sail Furler Kit is a furling kit designed for Hobie Mirage kayak sail kits. It is a much faster alternative to rolling up the sail by hand. This kit fits all Hobie Mirage kayak sail kits and includes all the necessary hardware. Complete instructions can be found under the resources tab.

What is the shipping weight and size of this? I'm not sure. It comes in a small bag. The parts have to be installed on your kayak and I am going to have my dealer do this for me.

What exactly is this for? How necessary is it? This allows you to furl the sail in and out on your Hobie kayak. I highly recommend it.

Can this be added to a mirage inflatable? Our setup, which can be found at https://youtu.be/Zi7Zu0ZDNV4, can be done, but it is better mounted and requires some practice or tension if done freehand. You won't be able to mount the fairlead, but it can still work.

What is the diameter of rope? I don't know the rope diameter. I used a small to medium jam cleat.
