Parasail Quick Link (PQL)
We have been working with the towline companies to develop the Parasail Quick Link (also known as the Parasail Soft Shackle) for a few years now, this is custom built for parasailing with Polyester fibers. The quick link allow easy connection between the parasail and towline, this turns out to be quicker than tying a bowline knot. With testing the quick link it has shown to have lower strength loss over use.
These PQL soft shackles are recommended only to be used with single braid polyester towline that has a minimum breaking strength of 6500 lbs. A PQL can be used for up to 500 fight rotations, currently we have three strength available:
White Quick Link tested breaking load 4900 lbs. (+/- 250 lbs.). This equivalent strength of a bowline tied in a towline of 9000 lbs. in strength.
Black Quick Link tested breaking load 3800 lbs. (+/- 250 lbs.). This equivalent strength of a bowline tied in a towline of 7000 lbs. in strength.
Blue Quick Link tested breaking load 3200 lbs. (+/- 250 lbs.). This equivalent strength of a bowline tied in a towline of 5000 lbs. in strength.
The PQL soft shackle is the weak link in the system and is designed to break to protect the parasail from failure in unforeseen circumstances.
