For Sale a beautiful hardly used Isotec Parasailor red and white 125 sq meter size. This sail came off my 45' monohull in New Zealand. In near perfect condition, no tears, no wear and no stains. Our sailing area is too small for this sail. Perfect for long distance cruisers. Sail is now here in Northern California. Price $5,500 plus shipping. Contact me through Cruisers Form and I will get right back to you. Thanks,Doug -MATAURI 500

Hello Doug.

I have a bavaria 45, and I plan a long Journey With several Ocean crossings, so i am very interested in purchasing a parasailor.

Is this sail big enough for a normal 45 footer( eg bavaria 45 of 15 tons).

At what kind of Wind speeds have You used this sail?
Can You ship it to Norway?
warm regards from Øystein Huse.

I ordered the sail specifically for a 44 monohull. To be sure I suggest that you phone the guys at Parasailor and see what size they suggest. They are very helpful. I think that the 125 is going to be perfect. Above that on a 45' boat the sail may be overpowering. As it is the sail causes my bow to actually lift and the boat really started to move.
I have used the sail from about 6 to 22knots with gusting above that.
At low wind speed they bounce around a bit but I've 10-12 k the sail is out there as solid as a rock.

Yes it can be shipped air freight to Norway. I had an earlier quote to send it air freight to France and it was about US $550 so Norway should be about that I expect.

Hello Doug.

Thank You for Your quick response to my quote.

Does the sail come With bag and sock, as delivered by istec. What about halyards.

I am interested, but since it is a big Investment, i could wish for some more Pictures.
How should we progress With the purchase?
