Feel like a blue water sail, or perhaps even an ARC cruise, or just simply a relaxed trip out with a small crew? With our Parasailor and its unique design these are all achieved to the full.
With the simplest of operations set your windward leech into wind. Then relax and watch how the Parasailor in a pleasantly upright position automatically adjusts itself to the wind in all facets. Functioning like a "soft batten", the pressure filled wing contributes to actively reopening the collapsed leech.
Doing so the wing generates lift that not only raises the bow of your yacht, it also ensures that there is no loss of propulsion.
With or without pole, as you prefer, the Parasailor contributes to a very relaxed mood onboard. Its high quality material as well as its triple ply leech construction with red and green markings ensure that the Parasailor is always a reliable companion on all your downwind trips.

The Parasail is positioned between the usual downwind sail and the Parasailor, making it your very personal guarantee of a sailing trip that is sporting but relaxed. Be that with your guests on a club regatta or on a family cruise: The striking appearance of the Parasail as well as your own cool and calm performance will make heads turn - and that in front of a home crowd too.
The gentle way in which the Parasail vents any gusts of wind protects your rig and spars. ISTEC manufactures the Parasail to aviation engineering standards from extremely tough but light spinnaker cloth. This ensures that wear and tear is minimal even with frequent use.
The Parasail willingly responds to the smallest of gusts and quickly picks up speed. You do not have to be out racing in order to enjoy the Parasail.

Hood specialise in designing and building racing sails for club racing, classic yachts, short-handed racing (single-handed and double handed) and one-designs that mandate woven sailcloth.
Every sail is individually designed, using the very latest software, taking into account: the exact specification of your rig; how and where you sail; the abilities of your helmsmen and crew; and your budget. Hood Sail Consultants are then available to sail with you to help set-up your sails in order for them to deliver their maximum potential. We then keep you sail design on our database so that, when the time comes for a replacement, we can build either: a perfect replica or, if you require changes, we can fine tune the design to your exact requirements.

The asymmetrical spis are used in race on boats having a very good capacity of acceleration which justifies the increase in roads of these spis which sail between 100 and 150° of the real wind. One finds these spis on the 747, Melges 24, J80 and minis 650 and other fast boats. Just like the symmetrical spis, these spis must also be drawn according to the use and of the characteristics of the boats for which they are intended.

The spi is an air sail, behavior only by 3 points, it flies! This particular characteristic makes of it a mysterious sail, delicate conceive, difficult to analyze and on which one will find according to their origins of the forms which could be very different. On the spis Racing DELTA, our research relates to the maximum of projected surface, synonymous with performance to the back wind, and on a great stability facilitating the access to the best adjustment.

A modern All-Round asymmetric spinnaker with a full radial panel layout. This sail has a medium-full shape that is appropriate for a combination of running and broad reaching angles.
The design uses a cross section shape that has a softly round-ed entry, that straightens and flattens towards the leech. This is a forgiving shape that is easy to trim, and which minimizes the boat's heeling angle when reaching.
This is a very versatile sail, perfect for anyone wishing to make do with only one spinnaker on board. This sail is designed for apparent wind angles of 80 - 155°
22 sizes from 28 to 309 m²

Bill's Asymmetrical Cruising Spinnaker
The innovative Asymmetrical Cruising Spinnaker adds more performance to your cruising inventory than any other sail. Bill molds the spinnaker in three dimensions on the computer based on his America's Cup design development experience. His highly efficient cruising design, slightly smaller than the racing sail, has a tri-radial panel layout with radial reinforcements for strength, durability and low weight. Our easy-to-use spinnaker is versatile, helping to keep your engine off in calm weather.
Your confidence in using it in heavier weather will increase as you learn that its deep entry decreases your boat's oscillations and it performs efficiently from a beam reach to a broad run. Raising and lowering the Asymmetrical Spinnaker can be handled easily by one person with our snuffer-a full-length sleeve that contains the sail while it's hoisted and doused. We encourage customers to have fun in selecting the colors and patterns for their asymmetrical spinnakers.

The Radial Head Cruising Chute is a high performance sail designed for the Cruising Yachtsman where ease of handling is of prime importance. No pole is required and the sail can be used with wind strength up to force four and as close as 70 degrees off the bow. This particular sail is light yet strong enough to withstand considerable pressure without distortion.
As a useful addition, we can supply a Yo-Yo system to assist with launch and retrieval.

This sail's cross section shape is elliptical, which makes it stable, and easy to trim. This sail requires a spinnaker pole. Full radial panel layout. Designed for apparent wind angles of 120 -180°.
Unlike IMS spinnakers, this spinnaker has a mid girth that is significantly larger than its foot girth . This results in a more spherical spinnaker profile, that projects better to windward on a run. The larger area is an advantage in average wind conditions (8 - 15 knots AWS).

Bill's Spider Spinnakers
Bill employs the most sophisticated computer-molded spinnaker design system in the industry, allowing each panel to be shaped separately. These molded panels fit together without distorting the lightweight spinnaker fabric. The result is the most efficient sail for maximum offwind speed. Breakthrough shapes are engineered for performance spinnakers in any size range, from runners for the Grand Prix Maxi circuit to world champion all-purpose J 24 spinnakers.
