Spinnaker Shake Down Cruise

2020 Hobie Tandem Island, first time out with the spinnaker. It's going to take some practice to get it right! Lots of fun when you have it set right.

It looks like a spinnaker, but...A gennaker... A cross between a.... That's It!! ... How 'bout a "Jibbaker"? That's what it looks like to me!!

I feel your pain.... Let me put it in short. Hobbie Tandem SUCK in sailing "performance" if we can even say that WITHOUT a jib. The additional jib makes it a bit better (but still ridiculous low) besides the cluster sheet/line fuck. Main cause is how cramped inn we have to sit. The limited body moving allowance, missing blocks and not easy access to everything turns everything to the worse. I am still not convinced, that a Hobbie is half the money worth, I spent on that thing. A fun little "floating device" for sure but ABSOLUTELY NOT useful for people who THINK about Sailing. Would I buy one again???? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Tell us how you really feel, haha! I love the Hobie, but it's a sailing kayak, nothing more. With that in mind, I think it's a fantastic boat. Easy to learn, easy to sail and capable. "I yam what I yam!" - says the Hobie TI.
