Para -sailing, a variation on water skiing, received op- prov41, in principle from Grand Bend council Monday night when the idea was presented by Hugh McDermott and Brian Smith from Caribe Enterprises, Lon- don. Para-sailing involves the use of a parachute attached to a 300 foot line op the back of a power-boat. Participants are hooked to the line and the boat pulls out, against the wind, lifting the para- sailer off a raft for an aerial tour. McDermott and Smith said a raft, 40 feet by 40 feet, would be anchored well off Grand Bend beach, to which people would be ferried for their rides, They hope then that they .will receive final approval from council to go ahead with their plans. Smith and McDermott will return to the next council meeting with the necessary documents from their barrister. The boat, they said, would be. bought from Pete Warner at Warner-Thompson in Grand Bend and the tickets sold in the Sun and Surf Shop, owned by Robert Carter of Grand Bend, " You could hurt yourself more by jumping off a chair" said Smith, a military and sports parachutist. McDermott, stressing the safety side and foolproof system, said he could guarantee "not even a bruised toe." Para-sailing is unlike water skiing with a kite in that there is no free flight involved. Calling the system "Idiot-proof' McDermott said all of the con- trols are out of reach of the participants, They merely go for a ride. Landing is done with a pulley system that is hooked onto the line and draws the parer-sailer into the raft, again without him ever having to do anything. Both McDermott and Smith stressed the valuable points of their "summer venture" to council, explaining the ad- vertising effects of para-sailing because it "is so visible." They also said they would be hiring local people to man the raft and would purchase the boat and sell tickets locally. Riverview W.I. meet in Ailsa Craig Mrs. C.

Despite the claims of safety, council wanted a legal agreement between Caribe Enterprises and the municipality, removing legal indemnification and respon- sibility from them should an accident occur. Smith said such precautions are being taken, and an agreement between the par- ticipant and Grand Bend and Caribe would be signed before the person was allowed to take off. This agreement, removing liability from both parties, would be printed on the $10 ticket purchased by people wishing to para-sail, In rough weather the en- terprise would be shelved, the determining factor being the safety of the boat. Para-sailing would run seven days a week in July and August, and on weekends in the other summer months said Smith, but added that if there was enough demand generated by their publicity campaign, they would increase the hours in the off months.
