WELCOME TO THE GAASTRA E-STORE BLOG

… the his­tory of Gaas­tra begins in 1897, when the 22-year-old Douwe Gaas­tra sets up his sail­mak­ing com­pany in Sneek (Nether­lands), with the ambi­tion of mak­ing sail­ing faster as well as more com­petive and effe­cient. In a short space of time, Gaas­tra then becomes a house­hold name in the global world of sail­ing. If you are inter­ested in more infor­ma­tion please visit http://www.gaastra.eu/en/brand/heritage
