The new PRO Col­lec­tion is build in a pro­fi­cient way with a result all weather con­di­tions can be con­cured from on-shore pur­suits to transat­lantic voy­ages. The evo­lu­tion of the GX-01 col­lec­tion fea­tures an out­stand­ing water­proof bench­mark equiv­a­lent to a water col­umn of 20,000 mm (Toray) and has been designed down to the small­est detail to ensure com­fort and pro­tec­tion dur­ing the most extreme sail­ing con­di­tions. With the use of Bemis tape as gar­ment fin­ish­ing GAASTRA PRO guar­an­tees wind and water will not obstruct your sail­ing per­for­mance.

As you might have rec­og­nized: We love sail­ing! “Les Voiles de St Tropez” is one of our favourite yacht­ing events every year. We would love to inspire you and us with the video mate­r­ial of last year. Have fun and sail away.

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is an amaz­ing ren­dezvous of yachts. First run twenty-six years ago as La Nioulargue, the regatta gath­ers together the most extra­or­di­nary mod­ern sail­ing boats along­side the most beau­ti­ful tra­di­tional yachts in the early autumn. A host of rac­ers and sail­ing enthu­si­asts come from all the cor­ners of the globe to do bat­tle in the bay of Saint-Tropez. The Trophée Rolex is awarded to the win­ner of the Clas­sic Divi­sion over 16 metres. (Date: Sep­tem­ber 26 — Octo­ber 3, 2010)
