01 — Problem
Why this series.
Open. Who is the flyer. What the Flexifoil-style ladder gets right. What we refuse to ship.
Research · not a photograph
Parafoil brief.
Design room for the first product series. Headings are locked; numbers and cuts stay empty until the brief is fed with real decisions. Nothing here is a finished sail.
02 — Geometry
Sail and cells.
Open. Cell count. Aspect ratio. Leading-edge profile. Tip behaviour in light air.
03 — Ladder
4 · 6 · 8 · 10.
Four spans share one language. Scaling rules, wind windows, and who each size is for — still to lock. Shop SKUs already exist as stubs:4,6,8,10.
04 — Materials
Cloth, bridle, lines.
Open. Sail cloth. Bridles. Line set. Handles or bar. Repair path.
05 — Field
Where it must work.
Highland ridge, beach, and clag. Same honesty as the Cosy Canvas Gear research pages: colour studies and notes until a real still exists.
06 — Open questions
Still on the line.
- First prototype size — 6 or 8?
- Soft handles vs bar for the series?
- Colourway: ink-only retail bag, colour sail?
- Pack format and spare-line policy?
