Description
Complete, new inflatable sailboat based on Bestway Hydro-Force Voyager 1000 boat. This is a fully functional sailboatwith steering and the ability to tack upwind. Comes with assembly instructions and how to sail manual. Hull is green and black (one of the pictures shows this -- the one without the sail kit.)
How portable is it?
Sailing conversion kit folds to compact bundle about the size of a set of golf clubs so you can easily put it in the trunk of a small car and store it in a closet or under a bed when not in use. One of the photos with this listing shows SailboatsToGo founder Jim Luckett squatting next to two bags. The black bag is a deflated boat and the longer, thinner gray bag contains the complete sail kit! Boat is about 33 lbs. and sail kit is about 36 lbs.
What exactly is it?
This is much more than just a sail and a mast and an inflatable boat.
It is a complete sailboat.
Some other companies will offer a sail and mast, and maybe spars or a boom, and call that a "sail kit." You cannot convert your inflatable boat for sailing with just a sail and mast. You need additional parts to hold the mast up, and you need leeboards so you can sail across the wind and tack upwind, and you need convenient steering for control. And you need a way to attach everything to your boat and instructions tailored to your boat. Our sail rig is complete and includes all parts necessary for all these functions.
What's included: Complete sail kit with sail, mast, spars, mast step, frame, steering, and attachment straps. Bestway Voyager 1000 inflatable boat with oars and hand pump. Also, a sturdy carry bag for the folded sail kit and two straps for holding the rolled-up deflated boat. We do not provide a bag for the boat. The straps are really more convenient.

The sail kit is well engineered and ruggedly made.
You can enjoy it in moderate winds as a beginner or in strong winds up to 20 mph or even more if you have the skills and accept the risks of sailing in high winds. This sail kit is made to take it.
Comfort:
The sail kit allows plenty of headroom under the sail and it does not take away any floor space in the boat.
Sailing is easy and fun
. You can figure out the basics in just a few hours with the included sailing manual and be a sailor your first day on the water.
What's included
: Complete sail kit with everything needed to convert your boat for sailing. Sail will be our 45-sq.-ft. model as shown in the photos with this listing. Also included is an inflatable boat with hand pump, boat bag, oars, and patch kit.
Not included but available at additional cost: A sail kit carry bag. Adapters to use the sail kit and a motor mount at the same time.
Detailed parts list:
Nylon sail, mast, spars (the boom and the top spar that hold the sail), the mast step (socket that holds up the mast), metal frame that straps to the boat that everything mounts to, leeboards (fins on the sides that act like a centerboard or keel to counteract side slip so the boat can sail across the wind or tack upwind), steering unit, and one steering oar and oarpin, all necessary straps, ropes and hardware. Boat with oars, bag, patch kit, seats, pump..
Other Information;
All parts are corrosion resistant.
Weight of the sail kit is only about 35 pounds including all the above parts. Weight of boat is about 40 lbs. for the Marine Pro (either brand) and about 70 lbs. for the Mariner 3. The Mariner 3 has a solid roll-up floor, so that is why it is heavier. If you prefer one boat over the other, you can tell us to send that one in the "note to seller" section when you pay.
No modification to the boat is required.
Set up time is about 20 minutes after you have done it a few times. Initial assembly (one time and then don't need to repeat) may take about an hour. Boat inflates in about 10 minutes.
We ship world wide from the USA. Buyers in other countries will be responsible for taxes of their country. Canadian customers: Made in USA so tax should just be your sales tax. US buyers: No tax except in Massachusetts.
