Gin Gliders’ Yak speed flying paraglider
Gin Yak speed flying paraglider
Gin‘s speed flying and mountain paraglider, the Yak, as used by Stuart Holmes in his descent of Ama Dablam in November 2009, is now available for sale through Gin’s dealer network.
Gin say the Yak is “the ultimate toy for mountains lovers, an outrageous amount of pure fun packed into a tiny package of just over two kilos”.
The Gin Yak's trimmers
Its characteristics are said to be very easy inflation, with a trim range which allows you to decrease the glide ratio for a fast morning descent or to increase it for a spot of afternoon soaring. Gin say you can even thermal with the larger sizes (it is available in 15, 16.5 and 18m sizes).
The Yak is available in a choice of three colours, and is delivered either separately in the ultra light 40 litre Yeti bag, or with a reversible 40 litre harness / rucksack, or with the new ultra light Yeti harnesss and a 50 litre rucksack.
