When you see the combination of a paraglider and a boat, many people may think this is an extreme sport in which the ship pulls the paraglider through the air. It's the opposite: a new sailing boat pulled by a paraglider. Unlike a traditional sailboat, a parasailing vessel is powered by a kite-like paraglider floating in the air with the help of wind. It is ideal for use in windy coastal areas.

Features of parasailing boat
Parasailing originated in Europe in the early 1970s, when some mountain climbers experienced an excellent feeling and fun by gliding down from the mountains by parachute, thus creating a new aviation sport. Nowadays, the longest flight time for paragliding is 17 hours, and the farthest flight distance is more than 300 kilometers. It embodies a communication between man and nature and is much loved by those who admire the spirit. In recent years, paragliding has become very popular in Europe, America, and other developed countries and some developed regions and has become a way of life and leisure for the public. Paragliding was introduced to China in the 1980s and is now showing rapid development trends, with most enthusiasts mainly in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Northeast China, and the number of registered paragliding pilots in China is growing explosively every year. In 2018, paragliding officially became one of the official competition items of the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia. With the rise of this sport, the demand for parasailing boats is also increasing.
A paraglider usually consists of four main parts: the wing-shaped parachute jacket, the parachute rope, the harness system (sitting bag,) and the operating system. When the parasailing boat is in relative motion with the air, the air enters the air chamber from the inlet. It cannot be discharged because the trailing edge of the parasailing boat is closed. Under the action of the air impulse pressure, a particular force is generated in the inner cavity of the parasailing boat so that the flexible parasailing boat maintains a certain rigidity and shape.
The parasailing boat has excellent safety. According to authoritative books, the accident rate of paragliding ranks after road bicycles and soccer. Paragliding can be safe to fly but has a dangerous side. Like driving, most people obey the traffic rules, but a few people like to pursue excitement and race and drift, so it is still necessary to pay attention to safety. Paragliding is a simple and easy-to-learn sport. New students with zero foundation can generally fly independently after 3-5 days of training. After a week of systematic training, they can obtain a primary paragliding license issued by the China Aviation Sports Association. The intermediate license can be obtained after about three weeks of systematic training. Paragliding has officially become one of the competition events of the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia, for 18 years.
The above is an introduction to a parasailing boat. I hope it can help you in your future life.
