Cosa tratta questo video

The New Generation Parasailor is demonstrated aboard a Columbia Yachts 50 designed by Bill Tripp in 1966, sailing just outside Porto Torres in northern Sardinia, to answer whether the sail works on older, non-contemporary boats.▶ 1:09 Ezio Grillo of FB Yachting, the Italian importer, explains the sail's hybrid wing system: a three-dimensional box-section wing behind a main canopy that channels airflow and generates forward lift rather than drag, allowing a wind range from 60 degrees apparent to dead downwind.▶ 2:53 The sail handles winds beyond 35 knots but dousing above 30 knots requires at least three crew; two can manage it safely below that threshold, aided by an autopilot.▶ 6:10 ARC transatlantic participants routinely hoist it at the Canaries and leave it up until the Caribbean.▶ 4:04 For older boats, the main fitment challenge is the tack point: if a bow pulpit blocks the anchor roller, a removable steel compression fitting solves it.▶ 8:05 Winch requirements are four total — two cockpit winches for sheets and two on the coachroof for guys — but boats with only two winches, including Dehler central-winch layouts, can manage with added rope clutches.▶ 9:07 The New Generation Parasailor costs more than the standard Parasail model, which has a lower wind ceiling.▶ 7:12
