The Hobie Adventure Island is the Hobie Adventure Kayak with an Island trimaran and 16' mast/sail kit, making it the ultimate Kayak Sailing craft.
The Hobie Adventure Island is a very universal craft. It can be used for sailing as shown above, a platform using one Amas with the Adventure Kayak or the Hobie Adventure Kayak can be used on its own.

For transporting the Adventure Island fully rigged consider this. For better lasting qualities in salt water...drill holes in axel tips and insert retaining clips or rings as the illustrated hubs may rust if not stainless. trolley setup.
For those wanting to create a versatile and inexpensive rod holder. http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo110/drewboy3567/effectiverodholder.jpg
