Easy to Fly
Gin's principle design
consideration was to give pilots discovering paragliding a glider
which is easy to fly, comfortable and of course, extremely safe.
Craftmanship and
Dedication...
Gin has dedicated one
and a half years to developing this amazing new wing, and has
flown hundreds of hours with prototypes until he was satisfied it
was absolutely right, as he imagined it.
Differences
 | an easier take off with lighter inflation.
 | a flatter turn with a better sink rate.
 | more precision in turns and a more 'compact' feeling wing :
more efficient in thermals.
 | canopy adjustment for a fine shape.
 | 3 main "A" lines
 | a new fabric finish E85A for the Porcher New Skytex fabric,
which offers greater performance and durability, and also
reduces fabric weight, improving launch, security and
re-inflation.
 | water-based and environmentally friendly coating |

The Bolero looks fantastic with a
clean distinctive shape and wrinkle free surfaces. Good design,
attention to detail and trimming of each glider combined with the
best materials ensure that quality stands out, you will be proud
to own a Gin Glider. The handling qualities of the Bolero both on
the ground and in the air have been finely tuned to make flight
both safe and easy while retaining Gin's high standards of feel
and responsiveness. Above all the Bolero is great fun to fly,
whether on a sled ride to the landing area or a soaring cross
country flight.
