The Advantages of the New Generation Parasailor
Thanks to the symbiosis between sail and wing, sailing on all broad and deep downwind courses suddenly becomes much easier and offers many benefits. The airflow through the sail eliminates turbulence along the leeches. With the wing acting as a batten, the Parasailor remains filled on its own. The added lift makes the boat easier to steer. When sailed without a pole, you can safely gybe from the cockpit without needing to go to the foredeck. With the Easysnuffer, the Parasailor can always be easily and safely doused. In short, finally a sail that works for you instead of the other way around!
Thanks to its sophisticated design, the New Generation Parasailor offers multiple advantages:
- No pole needed
- More stability
- Less rolling
- Dampening of luffing/flapping
- Less need for sail changes due to huge range and versatility
- Lift keeps the boat more upright
- Reduced need for trimming
More performance
The outstanding performance of the New Generation Parasailor is due to its hybrid wing and flow-optimized sail shape. It delivers more propulsion and sets more easily in lighter winds than its predecessor, the classic Parasailor. With as little as 2–3 knots of true wind, the New Generation Parasailor comes into action—bringing even more sailing pleasure.
The Parasailor is the first sail to offer the possibility of using just one sail with excellent performance, where previously both a separate spinnaker and gennaker were required. The Parasailor can be used across the entire wind range between 70 and 180 degrees! Read more about this on the page about how the Parasailor works.
Safety and comfort
The less the boat rolls and yaws, the more comfortable, safer and faster your sailing experience will be. Thanks to the lift of the wing, the boat remains nicely upright and responds well to the helm. The combination of the wing’s rigidity and the absence of turbulence around the leeches gives the Parasailor exceptional stability, requiring less trimming.
The opening in the sail acts as a pressure-release valve in gusts, resulting in smoother sailing, greater comfort, and improved safety. Thanks to the design of the hybrid wing, the New Generation Parasailor can also be doused more easily, allowing you to take it down quickly if the weather changes.
Form stability
With the same spreading of the leeches as the old Parasailor, the new wing gives the New Generation Parasailor more lift and greater form stability, resulting in an even steadier sail.
Like a flexible batten, the wing actively spreads the leeches of the Parasailor. And because there is no turbulence around the leeches, the Parasailor easily maintains its proper shape for a long time.
