Detail InformationEdit

Parasailing involves attaching a rope, about 300 feet long to the para-sail harness at one end and the other end to the speedboat. As the speedboat speeds off into the ocean, the sailor is heaved up in the air. The sailor is firmly attached to the rope and thus has little or no control over the parachute. The speedboat reins control of the momentum and height and the person flying the parasail controls the parasail sideways. While para sailing, one can take pleasure in the vision of the clear blue-sky and the stunningly beautiful aquamarine water below.

HistoryEdit

The first ascending-gliding parachute was developed by Pierre-Marcel Lemoigne in 1961. In 1974, Mark McCulloh invented the first self-contained parasail launch and recovery vessel that incorporated a hydraulic winch and canopy assist mast that collectively launched and retrieved the parasail canopy and parasailors to and from the vessel flight deck.In early 1976, Brian Gaskin designed, created, and tested the first 16-gore canopy design which he named “Waterbird”. The Waterbird was revolutionary in its canopy design, its unique tow yoke harness arrangement, its construction, and the use of zero porosity fabrics which allowed it to be used over water safely. In April 2013, the first ASTM parasail weather standard was approved.
