Summer fun: The Mirage Tandem Island
If you’re looking for a fun multisport boat for two, the Mirage Tandem Island is worth a closer look. In its most elemental form, it’s a fast, two-person kayak. But once you attach the two akas (crossbeams), the Amas (pontoons) and the two-piece carbon fibre rig and sailing kit (all included), two of you can go flying across the water, powered by a roller-furling, boomless mainsail.
Both cockpits have steering- and sail-control lines, making it ideal for partners of all abilities. The craft comes with generous storage space, two MirageDrives with turbo fins, adjustable padded seats with infl atable lumbar supports, and a fully-retractable, kick-up centreboard. Price: R58 000.
