Hello Everyone,
Has anybody tried out the sail kit on the iTrek 9? I keep going to the showroom with half a mind to trade my iTrek 9 in for a newer model with the sail and Bimini mount but have so far resisted the urge.
Cheers,
Keith

Hey Keith, I’ve used the sail kit on the iTrek 9 and it’s pretty cool! It adds some nice versatility and fun to your trips, but it’s worth considering if you’ll use it often enough to justify upgrading. If you’re happy with your current setup and don’t need the extra features, sticking with what you’ve got might be the way to go.

Thanks for the feedback TerraNova. I think I had ideas of using the sail kit to turn the iTrek 9 into a mini Adventure Island but sounds like I might be better off just buying a set of turbo fins and pedalling harder.

Do I need any accessories to install the sail kit? I can't find anything about it anywhere. I know that you install the sail mast at the front. But how do you install the rest?
