HOW DOES IT FLY?

 The aerodynamics of flight apply to parasails, but you have to remember it is being towed through the air, rather than self-propelled.

The biggest innovation in parasailing has been the introduction of a specially designed boat which has an integral platform and a hydraulic winch for the launching and retrieval of flyers.

The biggest innovation in the parasail industry has been the advent of the commercial Paracraft winchboat which hydraulically launches and retrieves flyers directly onto a built-in platform. Since Paracraft's introduction in 1987, Paracraft leads the way as the most innovative, efficient and user-friendly. Ease of operation and safety considerations have been our single most important concern.Today, the Paracraft Warrior 32' remains the only 100% hand-laid fiberglass boat that is designed from the ground floor up specifically for commercial parasailing. It has a professional, futuristic look incorporating a unique, one-piece, molded-in flight deck. The deck has been appropriately angled up at the back to provide stability when swapping the flyers. This angle creates a level surface for chute inflation and deflation while underway and provides increased freeboard. This greatly reduces the chance of damaging the chute by catching water during deployment and recovery. This non-slip, self-draining flight deck is large: 9 1/2' by 14'. This allows ample room for ease of movement by flyers and crew with enhanced safety.

The one-piece "unibody" construction technique used in building the Paracraft Warrior 32' is found in high-tech off-shore racing boats, but is innovative in the winchboat industry. This one-piece upper deck ensures the strongest, longest lasting deck with trouble-free performance and ease of cleaning. The handrails on the deck are stainless steel as are the cleats which have been recessed to eliminate snags and damage to the chute.

The lifting strakes and chines on our hulls have a negative angle so planing is quick and easy. On the Warrior 32' you will find that trim tabs are unnecessary. This means less bow rise and more fuel economy.

The exclusive Paracraft pulpit for hand inflating the chute is unique to the industry. This eliminates the costly, clumsy and troublesome inflation mast. Hand inflation is sensible and easy for predictable, professional inflation. Additionally, undue wear on the chute lines by inflation masts is eliminated, and the chance of dragging the chute in the water and damaging it is greatly reduced.

Our winch post is outfitted with a multi-roller assembly. This allows less wear and tear on the tow rope and the chute's yoke, no matter where the chute tracks behind the boat.

If you are looking for the best winchboat in the industry with the driest and smoothest ride even in the roughest seas, look no further than the Warrior 32'. The deep "V" hull entry on the 32' begins with a 43 degree deadrise and tapers down to 24 degrees at the transom. The beam is 9 1/2'. Add seating in the flared bow for 12 adults and storage for 12 more and you will find the most comfort anywhere with practicality as the primary concern.

Although utilitarian, you can't miss the sleek lines of any "Paracraft" which distinguish it in the marketplace as the only boat with the 21st century look. If you consider looks, styling, serviceability and utility with every detail of operation meticulously thought out, "Paracraft" offers it all.
