Could you give us some advice on the Parasailor?
I have read with great interest your accounts about your experience with the Parasailor... I am about to cross the Atlantic with the ARC from east to west and am seriously considering buying this sail. We are a not-so-experienced crew and I would like to make our downwind sailing as comfy and safe as possible. The sail is very expensive, so I'm hesitating... any advice for 3 women eager to sail with ease??
The Parasailor spinnaker is a great sail, I have no doubts about that... but it is more expensive than a normal spinnaker as it is a high-tech sail. It will definitely make sailing downwind easier, so if you can afford it, I certainly advise you to get it... but hurry up or you may not get it in time for this year's ARC. I used a Parasailor for about 8,000 miles in the last 18 months and it worked perfectly!
