3. Introducing the YAK
The YAK is opening new horizons of piloting for expert and careful pilots with a lot of flying
experience.
The air, the speed and the safety are joined for a new dimension of flight… the possibilities are
growing!
The YAK will give you the possibility to return to the original soul of flight and also to open up
new fields of practice. You will be able to fly down the mountain in wider aerological conditions
with this simple and solid glider. You will have fun with strong wind ground handling and
soaring…
For pilots who…
The YAK is an ultralight speedglider designed for highly experienced and responsible pilots that
have enough knowledge to adapt to the speedglider’s dynamic handling. The higher wing loading
increases the speed and the responsiveness of the handling. The glide angles are much lower
than with modern paragliders. The landing approach and landing itself are considerably
different.
The YAK is not recommended for busy flying sites and training in a professional paragliding
school is strongly recommended. Regular practice on the ground is very useful. Take special
care when deciding when and where to fly, and respect other flyers and flying machines.
Manufacturing
All GIN gliders are produced in the company's own facilities using the most modern techniques.
Highly skilled staff take extreme care throughout the entire manufacturing process. Stringent
quality control is made after each step, and all materials that go into each wing can be traced.
These measures guarantee that pilots fly with the assurance that their wing meets the most
exacting safety standards.
