Hi I am new to the hobie community and am looking at buying an adventure island. I am a leg amputee and so looking for a safe and stable craft. I am also in Australia. I see a couple of different hull and amas shapes is there much difference in them? Some have vertical bows and others conventional. I am planning on going to see in it and sailing the coast. There are all years for sale here and because of my limitations I would like to know which would be the earliest model I should look at for safety and seaworthiness. I really would appreciate some expert help from you guys so I don't buy the wrong model and end up swimming.
Should I buy a tandem and use it one up?
Thanks in advance Pete.
My preference would be to buy a TI, as you then have capacity for a passenger and/or more gear.
Somewhere back in the forum was a clever solution involving modified ring-spanners attached to the tops of the Miragedrive, to allow efficient pedalling with the hands
PS.
If you go to your profile you can add in your location so we can all see where you are. I am interested in offshore trips too, and strongly believe in safety in numbers on journeys like that. The 12 Nm trip from Port Stephens to Broughton Island is an ideal starter
