“The new 2016 range has the distinct GA Gaastra feel and has been designed with the foundations of proven success. “ “Coming in the 2015 season as the PWA constructor’s champions and with Thomas Traversa as defending PWA wave world champion could not have given me a better sense of achievement and a renewed drive to continue on this winning path. “For our 2016 range, the team and I were very critical not to make unnecessary changes just for the sake of it. So for this season it became more about making a series of smaller steps and re-cuts that in the end has given us the greatest...

In order to be able to reduce the weight of the sails we developed a completely new range of laminate materials, with a much thinner film supported by a double structure of fibers - a balanced scrim of fibers orientated in the warp that fit within a classic X-Ply angled series of fibers. From its structure the name 2-Ply arose. We have created a complex woven web with the highest durability that is also very lightweight. Besides the proven X-Ply, we use this laminate in the upper sail body to achieve minimal swing weight and protection of critical areas. • • • • • Less weight: use of new...
