Revo Test Sail

Went to Berryessa today to test my wife's Revo in sail mode, pretty windy and rough so I stayed out of the main part of the lake. well it is not an AI but I don't think the Revo gets the credit it deserves pretty fun. The Hobie Sidekick worked better then I had expected I thought they might be to small not so, the new Hobie furling system works but needs some fine tuning. I like the cut of the sail it does not knock your hat off like my AI does  . So all in all pretty happy with the rigging.

I have the same set-up for my Revo and totally agree. I need to do some fine tuning with the furler but it's a fun ride.  I have had 3 of the floats leak at a seam but all have been replaced at no charge by Hobie even out of warranty.

I'm looking to do the same to my Revo as soon as I get the sail from AlsHobie. I'd be interested to know what turning the furling system needs.

thx,

Nice to see those AMAs are working out for you, Pat. Looks like fun!

Glad to hear everything is working out with the Revo Pat.

will keep you guys up to date on the fine tuning of the furling system.

The Revo hull is actually a little more stable than the Addy hull. I've tried sailing both without amas but only got my Sidekick amas after I sold the Revo. Your wife should feel very safe as the Revo with the Sidekicks has got to feel rock solid. I sure wish I can someday get my wife to try sailing with the amas.

Aw com'on Pat, be adventurer, try sailing the Revo without the ammas or fruler. Here is some footage of my first sailing on my revo....OUT OF CONTROL but a kick in the pants.

Nice….. you definitely have more guts then I, there where times when I got hit by big gusts of wind and the Ams would almost be surged all I could do was laugh out loud what fun
