WELCOME TO THE GAASTRA E-STORE BLOG

The Gaas­tra Crew was told in advance that the SAIL Ams­ter­dam is one of the largest sail­ing events in the world — but we had no idea how impres­sive that was.
In the early morn­ing we got car­ried down the IJ (the river that runs through Ams­ter­dam) to change onto the pretty nor­we­gian sail­ing boat “Sor­lan­det”. From this moment on it was already impos­si­ble to count all the lit­tle boats, big sail­ing yachts and mod­ern ships that sur­rounded us. Every boat had its own fancy char­ac­ter and indi­vid­ual his­tory to present. Dur­ing the five hour Sail In Parade back to Ams­ter­dam you had an unique view on nau­ti­cal his­tory with hun­dreds and thou­sands of vis­i­tors on river­side.
The Gaas­tra Crew enjoyed every minute of it and was proud more than ever to wear the SAIL Ams­ter­dam Col­lec­tion 2010.
