Parasailor VS Parasail

Comparison between New Generation Parasailor, Parasail, Spi and asymmetricals (gennaker, Code 2... and A2...)

We created this slightly more technical page to try to explain theoretically not only the differences between New Generation Parasailor and Parasail, but also the great differences between our innovative sails and the traditional ones.

For detailed descriptions of the two sails, if you have not already read them, please refer to the two dedicated pages with photographs and videos (click on the logos at the bottom of the page)
