Hobie Mirage Inflatables Leaflet

Step 1: Connect 

mast sections 

together.  Thinner 

diameter section 

is mast top.

Step 3: Insert batten 

into the narrow sleeve 

at the top of the sail.

Mainsheet.

Step 2: 

Slide the 

mast into 

the sail. 

Step 4: Tie in the batten (Note: Be sure that when 

tying, the batten is pushed snug into the sail.

Feed the line through   

the hold in the batten cap.

Next, feed the line through 

ring on the opposite side of 

the sail and pull back snug 

into the ‘v’jam.

Step 5: Insert mast 

into base and attach 

stretch cord to hook 

at mast base. 

TIP: Tie the end of the 

mainsheet in a knot after 

sliding it through the 

ring at the seatback strap 

connection point.  This 

helps keep the end of the 

line from  falling into 

the water if you should    

happen to lose your grip.

Step 7: Run the mainsheet from the sail, 

through the rear pad-eye, and up through the 

right clip on your seat.  This configuration 

allows you to steer with your left hand and 

control the sail with your right. 

Step 6: Attach sail stays to kayak and 

adjust tension.  Start with side shrouds by 

attaching them to each side of the kayak 

securing stay hooks to each stainless ring.  

Tension stopper knots until mast is straight.  

Finish by attaching the forstay to the bow 

ring and adjust slack until mast and sail are  

straight and snug.
