Black Jack Boite Ardeche
The Blackjackis developed from the Ace but incorporates PAC (Pressure Activated and Controlled) valves.
In 1996, CR built the first vented BASE canopy. It was quickly learned that vents functioned both as inlets and as escape vents. We documented the extreme out-flowing of air and the subsequent loss of pressure and performance.
This led us to begin work on a functional valve that allows air to enter the canopy but not to escape. Our extensive research of canopy pressurization dynamics helped us develop and refine our patent pending PAC Valve. The PAC Valve allows the canopy to pressurize almost instantly into a flying and responsive wing. This feature allows faster heading corrections and increases canopy (flight) time.
The advantage of PAC valves over a simple vent is that none of the canopy’s performance, stability or responsiveness is lost to the out-flow of air. Additionally, the PAC valves have allowed us to actually set the rate of pressurization, making the canopy useful on longer delays as well as ultra short delays.
The Blackjack is intended for the low altitude jumper looking for an advantage in versatility and safety without compromising landings or in-flight performance.
CUS : Both the Ace and the Blackjack benefit from the availability of an innovative new optional feature: Either canopy may be ordered with our exclusive Composite Upper Surface (CUS ). This enhancement is effectively a zero-porosity upper surface. However, only the front 30% of the upper surface is constructed of zero-porosity fabric. Several years of in-house testing and the work of independent researchers have shown that this approach provides performance enhancements effectively identical to models with complete ZP upper surfaces.
With the Composite Upper Surface you will notice better airfoil shaping, an increased performance envelope that allows the canopy to fly faster in full flight yet stall at even lower speeds and even more positive openings. The advantage over canopies using 100% ZP uppers are easier packing, lower bulk, none of the potential deployment heading issues, and no hassles containing the canopy after landing.

'As a professional fishing guide, I've owned a number of boats, but the BlackJack 256 is my all-time favorite! The layout allows for great room, so even with four clients onboard no one is crowded. The waters I fish are inland saltwater and flats, and accessing shallow waters is never an issue. Clients and fellow captains are always amazed about the skinny, shallow waters we can access in my BlackJack 256.'

'BlackJack is truly a great dry ride and takes the rough water better than any other bay boat I have ridden in. The BlackJack gets me to the big fish no matter the weather, keeping me and my customers dry. Their comfort with a smooth ride keeps me focused on what I'm here for: Leading them to the big one.'

'The ride is fantastic. It's dry and maneuvers in open water and close quarters like no other outboard. Because we fish a lot in North Carolina, its ability to plane quickly and stay on plane at slow speeds gives us an edge crossing wide, sometime choppy expanses of rough water to get to skinny water areas to fish. The layout is terrific. Good dry storage. Nice illuminated live wells. Plenty of rod storage. Easy to move around the boat. The fit and finish is at the top of the class. I get excited every time I run this boat and cannot imagine not having a BlackJack for fishing and just overall fun on the water.'

'I've been guiding for 25 years in the coastal marshes of south Louisiana. I've been guiding out of BlackJack boats the last 13, and there is not a finer boat on the market. You won't see me guiding out of any other boat!'

'BlackJacks are made with backcountry and near-shore fishing in mind. These boats ride better than many larger offshore boats I've owned. They hold the water like they’re on rails, and also float and run extremely shallow for a boat of their stature. I tell people that ride is everything, and you should always take a test ride in less than ideal conditions before purchasing. I always say if you test ride a BlackJack today, you'll be listing your boat tomorrow.'

“You’ll never ride a drier boat. After 20 years on the water, that is one thing that stands out above all. My BlackJack keeps me dry in conditions where most boats would have my customers soaked.”

“The stunningly beautiful lines of the BlackJack first caught my eye, and then I was blown away by its performance — especially in rough water.”
