This is Faith in our 2022 Ski Show. The quick launch crowd pass and landing. We use the "Rope Break" technique to get Faith to our 80 foot length quickly. I have trouble releasing the M lines. I'm thinking of a better solution than the KONG Frog clips.

I usually make sure I can get the flyer to a reasonable length before the tight turn. in this case I thought it was enough but I was wrong.

This is the introduction to a series of videos that describes our techniques to parasail from small consumer boats. we did this successfully from 18 foot boats with a 135 horse power engine but usually do it from. my inboard that's 21 feet and has about a 280 horse power engine. In all cases, a wake tower is needed.

      @michaelhughes7314 I'm not recommending or vouching for any of this, I'm using most of this stuff against there inte ded use. Use it all at your own risk. The winch is just Harbor Freight Badland 5000 lbs. My boat is 2005 Centurion T5 Thunder. 100 feet of 3/16 UHMWPE. A 24 foot Recreational Parasail Package from customchutes.com (I also have 30 foot one). The "M" line is just some rope I had laying around with a way to tie it to boat and then 2 Frog clips from Kong.

    Hi Alan. Great info.. I too have a sail and am curious to know what the tension weight on the boat is. I’m told to use a factor of five x the payload weight for a straight pull and factor of 3 when the sail is at 45 degrees. For example for launch and the person weight 200lb then the tortion force on the rope attachment point would be 1000lb. How do I find out what the SWS rating on the ski hitch is on the transom. Does this sound about right.. Regards Tony

    • @alankwiatkowski3191
      @alankwiatkowski3191 2 роки тому

      Based on rope rating and their failure (I had 2 ropes break), I would say your estimate is about 1/2 of actual. In addition, your nit including transients. I had a gust of wind on a fairly low wind day (about 7mph average; gust in the 20+ mph range ) snap a 5500 lb synthetic rope. The break was at the knot, so it was more like a 4,000 lb load. I wouldn't know where/how to find the rating of your ski hitch but if that's your intended mount point, my boat launch technique won't help you.

      @@alankwiatkowski3191 Thanks for the reply. I have the manufacturers manual and I made sure I complied with their recommendations. I wasn’t sure if my ski boat would tow it so I went against my better judgement even after researching a lot of content on UA-cam with test towing with a jet ski. Although the three land launches were successful however would not recommend it to anyone I was surprised it towered it. Was mainly to gauge if my boat would do the job. Considering my boat weighs 4 times of the ski it did tow it. Not advisable to anyone although people have done this behind a ski. As to add in additional safety I paid to have a quick release built in as to release it from the boat incase of excessive listing ect. Thanks for the info..

    I bought a parasail 15 years ago never have a chance to fly it. I have a 24’ campion Allante 705 it not equips with wakeboard tower any suggestions how to launch it from a boat?? Can you make a video show the detail setup on your boat..

    • @alankwiatkowski3191
      @alankwiatkowski3191 2 роки тому

      Have you watched the rest of the series? I thought I did a fairly detailed description. I thought how others can do this without a wake tower but never figured it out. For the inflation, you might be able to use the frame of a bimini top but you'll still need a strong tube mounted strong near the center of the boat (sounds like a wake tower). Provided you're confident your prop is shrouded enough by your swim platform, add a wake tower to your boat and you have a platform for parasailing.

      @@alankwiatkowski3191 I didn’t have a chance last weekend but I did try yesterday afternoon twice not successful. First try I release the sail to early and it end up in the water. Second try the sail was wet and the boat speed not fast enough same result. But for what I see from the first try definitely it will deploy just need a bit more practice.. thank you for all your video I hope my 17 year of dream fly this thing of my boat come true. I going to build a better launching pole instead of my flimsy Bimini frame. Next time I make some video hope I can share with everyone my journey flying this thing..

    • @alankwiatkowski3191
      @alankwiatkowski3191 2 роки тому

      It's a solution sold to my by Sport Chutes Extreme Water Toyz. It doesn't have brand/model. It seems to be a Wichard 2673 Quick Release Snap Shackle 70mm VIS-2673 encased in foam with leaders on each side. Note: 1) it specifically says it should NOT be mounted on the parasail end of the rope (but obviously you can't do that with this technique) 2) We don't use it anymore because a) Its documentation says don't use it at the parasail end b) we never needed it c) it separated once without being pulled d) using a soft shackle to connect and disconnect the parasail keeps meatal away from the flyer.

      In most cases you don't. In this series, you use the wake tower as a rope break. I did add a winch to my boat from Harber Freight but it can only fit 100 feet of synthetic rope and doesn't have a leveler.
