YETI
::: climb and fly ultra-light...
Ultra-Light Glider!
Following
the incredible success of the first version Yeti,
Gin Gliders is now launching the new Yeti. Same concept : ultra-light,
compact and easy.
For several seasons Gin Gliders has been working towards developing
lighter weight designs for all models in the GIN range but also
developing specific materials with our suppliers.
The Yeti 08 is the result of these developments
and improvements. Our main objectives were to produce a lighter
glider with easier handling.
Easy : an impressive inflation and launch
Our experience of moutaineering shows that a mountain glider must
be easy to use.
Manageable whilst handling on the ground, easy to launch, and
easy to fly.
Easy launch characteristics : it does not overfly and puts the
pilot in charge immediately. These two characteristics are a must
for any mountaineering glider.
In flight, the biggest advantage over the previous version is
improved performance, this is a glider which is more compact,
more precise and more efficient thermalling.
Light Materials, Advanced Technology
The Yeti is built with 2 light fabrics (100%
Skytex by Porcher) : the new Skytex 27 and the experienced 9017
E68A. All other materials used in the construction - tapes, reinforcements
and connectors etc. are chosen to achieve the highest performance
to weight ratio possible.
Result = 2.9 kg !
2.9 kg for the smallest size (19 sqm) to 4.6 kg for the largest
size.
The Yeti comes in 6 sizes - from a 19 sqm glider
for moutaineering experts to 5 other certified sizes from 45 kg
to 105 kg pilot weight !
Objective : 4 kg, ready to fly...
The objective is to offer a total equipment weight (wing, rucksack,
harness and carabiners) of 4 kg (for the smallest size) to fly
down the mountain safely and effectively.
There are 3 delivery options for the Yeti:
1) YETI + ULTRA-LIGHT BAG
2) YETI + CONVERTIBLE ULTRA-LIGHT HARNESS
3) YETI + ULTRA-LIGHT HARNESS + ALPINE LIGHT BAG
