St. Maarten Heineken Regatta 2012, Sail­ing Team ATT-EN-SION spon­sored by the offi­cial Gaas­tra Online Shop

The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta 2012 in the Caribbean hol­i­day– and sail­ing para-dise St. Maarten sets course this sea­son from 1^st to 4^th of march: To its 32. edi­tion the biggest sail­ing regatta of the Caribbean, orga­nized by the Sint Maarten Yacht Club, unites anew inter­na­tional sail­ing sports with much enter­tain­ment onshore under the motto ‘Seri­ous Fun’. The offi­cial Gaas­tra Online Shop is spon­sor­ing the Dutch sail­ing team „ATT-EN-SION“ from Wer­mond this year, the home­town of the lake coun­try and pop­u­lar sail­ing area ‘Kager­plassen’ near the Dutch town Lei­den. On the newest Beneteau Moor­ings 50.5 Monohull-Yacht, the sail­ing team goes on board with Jeroen Man­tel as cap­tain, with Ger­ton Lusink, Daniel Tuit, Niek Koop­mans, Jan-Willem Ver­sluijs, Jan-Willem Velzel and Jeroen van Stijn equipped with nau­ti­cal Caribbean Gaas­tra Sports­wear like the brand-new Antigua Sports­wear 2012 and the exclu­sive Les Voiles de Saint Barth 2012 Sports­wear from the Offi­cial Gaas­tra Online Shop!

The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta made its debut in 1980 with twelve par­tic­i­pants and cli­maxed 2008 with 289 boats. This year anew, more than 200 are expected, with about 2500 sailors from more than 25 coun­tries. Amongst them, more than one hun­dred will match with St. Maarten rental boats in the Bare­boat fleet on spot. But it’s not only the unique spirit of the Caribbean regatta attract­ing thou­sands on the Nether­lands Antilles Island. After the chal­leng­ing races, fun is fol­low­ing! Socia­ble and pas­sion­ate par­ties com­bined with local and inter­na­tional music acts will refresh on four evenings in a row. The Gaas­tra Shop with the biggest assort­ment of Gaas­tra Sail­ing Fash­ion and tech­ni­cal Gaas­tra Pro Sail­ing Gear wishes fresh days on deck and hot nights on shore!

Les Voiles de Saint Barth Mag­a­zine, Gaas­tra Sail­ing Fash­ion 2012

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.

Inspired by the exclu­sive spirit of the Caribbean regatta, the spe­cial play of sea colours and the sweet ‘Savoir Vivre’ on St. Barth, Gaas­tra presents the lat­est mar­itime sail­ing fash­ion col­lec­tion ‘Les Voiles de Saint Barth’. 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. Turn over a new fash­ion leaf and get inspired by the brand­new Les Voiles de Saint Barth Mag­a­zine includ­ing the lat­est Gaas­tra Fash­ion Trends 2012 and by the Caribbean sail­ing par­adise island St. Barth!
