Sailing a Hobie
I spent a week at Catalina and finally got around to using my sailing rig on my Outback. What a blast, it sails pretty well. If you have a Hobie try the sail rig, a lot faster than pedaling or paddleing.

I would imagine it will have a reverse.
-Talk has been it will run on those small, sealed 12 volt batteries. It was an expensive option. --------------------------------- If you want a motor go with the milk crate with 2"x6" motor mount, ratcheting tie down strap, dry cell Optima battery from Costco, and $100 trolling motor. A down and dirty set up that really works. |

If you install an electric motor do you need to register the kayak?

yes you need to acquire a CF number from the DMV if you use any motor.
I am surprised more Hobie dudes don't use the sail, it is pretty cool. Aaron out in front of Little Harbor.
