Nice Video. For comparison, here's how we fly our Parasailor on our Leopard 48 catamaran! https://youtu.be/QDMekVHa1N4

Many thanks for your comment. An asymmetric would not be as versatile as a Parasailor for apparent wind angles from 70 to 180 degrees. It is also a very well behaved sail and needs minimal trimming attention. As you say an assy would also not be appropriate in the stronger winds of 20 knots and above. The Parasailor wing acts virtually as an escape valve to exhaust stronger wind gusts while flying it in strong winds whereas a conventional kite would potentially blow out as it could not spill the wind on a cat as they do not round up like a monohull. In our case the boat also did not have a bowsprit and we did not want to add one plus another furler.

Nice informative video about the parasailor . What was the main reason on choosing this ,over an asymmetrical spinnaker on a bowsprit with a furler . Seems to me,they both work the same wind angles , I can not handle 20-25 knots of wind with my asymmetrical , launching and retrieving on the other side ,may also be easier with the ass. spinnaker . I wrote all this without ever trying the parasailor . Please fill in the gaps with Your taught s in my comparesment of the two . Best to You from Hungary
