Dip into the magic world of Saint Barth…just about 21 km² large, the French Caribbean island is one of the most exclu­sive sail­ing areas world­wide and for many inter­na­tional celebri­ties an open secret as a lux­ury hol­i­day para-dise. Firmly fixed in the sail­ing regatta cal­en­dar 2012, the VIP island Saint Barth will be in the spot­light of inter­na­tional sail­ing teams and yachts dur­ing the Les Voiles de Saint Barth Regatta 2012 – anew with Gaas­tra Sports­wear as the offi­cial part­ner on deck.

Par­tic­u­larly sporty and func­tional, the Sports­wear line sets sails and nau­ti­cally ele­gant, the Gaas­tra Bre­ton line – avail­able for Gaas­tra Women, Gaas­tra Men and Gaas­tra Kids.

Tirol Cross Moun­tain 2011: Actors Anja Kling and Till Demtroeder in Gaas­tra Jack­ets, © action­press / Franziska Krug

Last week­end ger­man actor Till Demtrøder invited for the third Tirol Cross Moun­tain Charity-Sled Dog Race Event in the pop­u­lar Tyrolean ski area Küh­tai with Gaas­tra Sports­wear as one of the part­ners: About 200 ger­man TV and film celebri­ties like Anja Kling, Car­o­line Beil, Bern­hard Bet­ter­mann, Patrick Lind­ner, actor cou­ple Thore Schöler­mann and Jana Julie Kilka, Yas­mina Filali, Jenny Elvers-Elbertzhagen and Nova Meier­hen­rich answered Demtrø-ders’ and the huskies’ call on 2020 metres in height for a good cause. In total 111.111 Euro have been won by the ger­man celebri­ties equipped in Gaas­tra Win­ter Jack­ets for the children’s aid group ‘Ein Herz für Kinder’. The VIP-crew really leaned in the curve for this pur­pose: Dur­ing the sleigh ride they had to col­lect gin­ger­bread hearts along the route, which have been con­verted into cash. Those who wanted to make a retreat from the chal­leng­ing sled dog race, really had to have a good excuse: ”I am cold doesn’t count!’, laughs organ­iser and actor Till Demtrøder. ‘My promi­nent par­tic­i­pants are per­fectly equipped for the Touch of Alaska with Gaas­tra and can be totally focused on the sled dog race.’ Like last year as well, Gaas­tra out­fit­ted the celebri­ties with fash­ion­able and func­tional Gaas­tra Sports­wear and the Tirol Cross Moun­tain Charity-Event attracted much atten­tion in the media this year anew. A selec­tion of Tirol Cross Moun­tain TV footage 2011 and many of the Gaas­tra VIP-Winter Jack­ets you’ll find online in the Offi­cial Gaas­tra Shop!
