Gaas­tra Sports­wear Spon­sor of the Ger­man Clas­sics Regatta Laboe 2011

Nowa­days the most inno­v­a­tive and famous brand for nau­ti­cal pro­fes­sional sports­wear and mar­itime high-fashion, in 1897 the founder Douwe Gaas­tra started Gaas­tra orig­i­nally as a sail­mak­ing com­pany in the lit­tle Dutch city Sneek.

He knew what deal­ing with the sea is all about when say­ing „You don’t ask the sea any ques­tions, you just dress for the occa­sion“. All his exper­tise made Gaas­tra the renowned brand it is today and espe­cially the pro­fes­sional Gaas­tra Pro Per­for­mance Wear sup­ports all lovers of nau­ti­cal adven­tures. For all those, whose heart belongs to the sea for­ever like Douwe Gaas­tras did, we made a very Spe­cial Poloshirt that’s ded­i­cated to the father of the sea, Douwe Gaastra.
