"I love my Parasailor"
Mike Harker"While crossing the Indian Ocean, I had my Parasailor up for more than a week without taking it down. I love my Parasailor and I think it's worth it."

Mike Harker, hang gliding pioneer and single handed circumnavigator, USA

"I'd recommend the Parasailor to everyone"
Jimmy Cornell"You're not at the sheet and spi guy the whole time, something that really suits a lazy crew. I often set the Parasailor without the spi boom and just use it like a normal asymmetric spinnaker. I'd recommend the Parasailor to anyone thinking about buying a new spinnaker."

Jimmy Cornell, sailing pioneer and author, Great Britain

"The Parasailor - a turbo for sailing yachts"
Bobby Schenk"Finally an intelligent downwind sail for port to port sails with the Parasailor - a turbo for sailing yachts. You almost can't notice the Parasailor smoothing out the steering of the autopilot - perfect."

Bobby Schenk, sailing legend, circumnavigator and author, Germany

"Very well mannered"

"The Parasailor spinnaker went up today and hasn't been down since. Our progress since improved in both comfort and speed. Still making good progress flying just the Parasailor - this new sail flies beautifully and is very well mannered."

Centurion II (Beneteau 50), ARC 2007 Participant

"I look forward to flying the Parasailor all the way and at night"

"We are setting off across the Atlantic and by the time this goes to print will hopefully be half way across and I look forward to flying the Parasailor all the way and at night, not worrying about gusts as we have flown the sail on a sister boat in 30 - 40 kn without a problem, going faster than an old cruiser like me is comfortable with, but very comforting to know the squall danger is now a thing of the past and the fuel saving for light winds is going to be phenomenal."

Meme Grant, Rayvin 30 Catamaran Lunatic, South Africa

"The sail exceeded our expectations"

"We set our new Parasailor and went down along the coast of the Canary Island making 9-10 knots, topping at 12.5, and having a very stable ride. The sail exceeded our expectations, judging from the smile of our skipper, who is a seasoned spinnaker sailor."

Gert of Victory Too (Farr 56), ARC 2009 Participant

"Pretty darn strong sail"

"The sails seems pretty darn strong - we had it up in over 30 knots AWS but one of the sheets went bang. Minor damage to the sail, possibly dues to lots of (suddenly) higher winds max reading 45 knots, just inside the main edge of the sail on port side, lower corner of wing mouth to edge of sail, opening the wing mouth a bit, I only noticed it after a few hours next day, brought it down, stitched it and back up another two days."

Matt Steadman, Privilege 465, UK

"I am happy with my investment"

"Crossing from Sardenia to Menorca , I used my new Parasailor 60 % of the trip. I was really surprised how easy it was to adjust it even during the night. So far I am happy with my investment and I believe Parasailor will give me the performance I am looking for at the Atlantic and Pacific crossings."

João Lima, Lagoon 420, Brazil

"Hoist in Las Palmas and douse in Barbados"
Catamaran Felix"We really appreciated this special sail during our Atlantic crossing from 22 December 2007 until 13 January 2008. We could actually have hoisted the Parasailor in Las Palmas and doused it in Barbados. However, for security's sake - after all you never know beforehand - and because we had not gathered too much experience with the new sail, we initially used the genua at night. What's fore sure is the Parasailor is much better at dealing with stronger gusts than regular spinnakers. In addition, the Parasailor looks great."

Alois + Sonja Puchner, Katamaran Felix
