GAASTRA PRO IS TESTED IN PROFESSIONAL RACING CONDITIONS Gaastra was established as a sail-making company in 1897.

make sailing gear better, faster and more efficient. Years

of experience later, Gaastra Pro has become a respected

name in technical sailing gear. Gaastra Pro is tested by

professionals under the most extreme conditions. It offers

optimal protection and comfort for all types of sailing, on all

Maximum protection from wind and water and maximum

comfort are the top items on any sailor’s wish list. It takes

state-of-the-art high-tech materials to live up to these

high standards. Gaastra uses Toray fabrics to combine

perfect waterproof properties with excellent breathability.

IBQ Kevlar® provides extra protection and comfort. BEMIS

tape prevents water from seeping through the seams, while

RiRi zippers make sure that a zipped up jacket really does

keep the crew dry.

Only the best is good enough.

TORAY FABRIC: high-performance fabric that keeps water out and allows perspiration to escape.

BEMIS: thermoplastic adhesive film applied to sewn seams to prevent water and wind penetration.

RIRI ZIPPERS: engineered to keep you dry and comfortable so that you can concentrate on performance.

IBQ: highly durable Kevlar®-reinforced fabric that offers comfort and protection.

Sponsoring

Wherever serious sailing is going on, there is usually a

Gaastra logo in sight. The Gaastra sponsorship program

reaches from the small inland lakes of the Netherlands to

the vast blue waters surrounding the Caribbean island of

Saint Barth. It includes partnerships in renowned regattas,

like the Copa del Rey, as well as sponsorship of professional

sailing crews competing in the most challenging races.

Gaastra also supports talents, like ‘Team Steven’, two young

Dutch aces aiming for Olympic gold in London.

Being involved at all levels of ambitious sailing is part of the

steady course that Gaastra embarked on years ago. Gaastra

offers the perfect mix of functionality and fashion. Talented

designers take care of the fashion part. For top-notch

performance, we get feedback from people who actually

spend time on the water. After all, how can you judge the

quality of waterproof zippers if you have never been ambushed

by a huge roller splashing over the bow?

Team Azzurra FROM A RICH HISTORY TO A PROMISING

FUTURE

GAASTRA SUPPORTS TEAM AZZURRA. This legendary

Italian yachting team, founded by H.H. the Aga Khan on

Sardinia, achieved many impressive successes in the 1980s.

These sparked an unprecedented blaze of passion for

regattas in Italy. Azzurra is to Italian yachting enthusiasts

what Ferrari is to Formula 1 fans. In 2008, some thirty

years after its final race, Team Azzurra was brought back

to life. And it immediately took the regatta racing world

by storm.

In the 2009 Louis Vuitton Trophy, Team Azzurra reestablished

its illustrious reputation with pride. Newspapers raved of

‘match racing made simple’ when Francesco Bruni guided his

crew to a 2-0 victory over Emirates Team New Zealand in the

final. A more impressive comeback was hardly imaginable.

Consistent results in the Audi MedCup and other regattas

prove that this success was not an accident. Team Azzurra

is back, and yet again it is a force to be reckoned with on the

open waters. WWW.AZZURRA.IT

Most people who enjoy the nautical lifestyle are not out

to win regattas. They just want a taste of the sun, wind,

water and the pleasure of a bit of sailing. But even if you’re

not trying to set a new speed record, getting the ship to

move can be hard work. No sweat! Gaastra Sportswear

jackets are ultra light, ergonomic and breathable. Whether

you are trying to go as fast as you can or just lounging

on deck, they keep you dry and comfortable. Because they

incorporate the latest fashion trends in distinct Gaastra

style, looking good comes standard as well.

Every year the designers of the Sportswear collection create

a line using the classic red, white and blue pallet. And every

year they manage to come up with something completely

new, fresh and dif ferent with these traditional nautical

colors. This year their creations are dominated by an

exuberant, intense red. It’s the color of passion and courage,

and also of temptation and guilt… So whatever you’re doing

this summer, expect it not to be boring!

Nautical stripes are a familiar Gaastra fashion feature. They are

embedded in the company’s DNA and are found in almost every

collection Gaastra creates. So when trend watchers reported that

stripes would be hot in 2012, it didn’t exactly cause a shock wave.

The designers simply continued what they do best: creating the ultimate updated

version of this great nautical tradition.

Finally leaving the marina. The plan is to sail from Gibraltar to Mallorca. We have been

looking forward to this trip for weeks. With our busy schedules, the final preparations were

all last-minute. Phoebe missed her flight, booked a new one and barely made it on time.

All that stress is now drifting away on a gentle breeze while we motor out to open sea.

THE REAL CLUB NÁUTICO DE PALMA is the most

prestigious yacht club on the island. Although it is 60 years

old, the entire facility was completely revamped. Because of

the great weather and conditions around the island, many

professional sailing crews have their training sessions here.

We are not here to hone our skills. The rest of our trip will

be spent relaxing on this glorious, sun-covered island while we

enjoy the good life. And our crew happens to be very talented

in that department...

Take one of the most prestigious yacht clubs in the world, add

a fine selection of competitive racing classes and sprinkle

it with the blessing of a king. This is the recipe for one of

the world’s most exciting regattas, and that’s precisely the

Copa del Rey.

For more than thirty years now, the Real Club Náutico de

Palma on Mallorca has set the stage for the Copa del Rey.

‘The King’s Cup’ attracts a fleet of the world’s top competitors

in different racing classes, including Swan45. In 2011 no

less than 130 ships entered the race. Imagine watching top

crews perform their magic, while the summer sun brings

out the best of this beautiful Balearic island. It just doesn’t

get any better.

I T’S ON E OF T H E BE ST K E P T SECR ET S I N T H E N AU T I C A L W O R L D : L E S V O I L E S D E S A I N T BARTH. A prestigious regatta in a relaxed Caribbean

atmosphere. Saint Bar thélemy is one of the French

Leeward islands of the Lesser Antilles. With a total area

of only 21 square kilometers and a population of less than

9,000, it is hard to imagine that this island could host

a world class event. But according to Bouwe Bekking,

Les Voiles de Saint Barth is going to be one of the main

events of the Caribbean yachting calendar this season.

“Here in the Caribbean there’s a lot of competition, nearly

every island has its own event. This is only the second edition

of the Voiles de Saint Barth and there are already seventy

boats entered. Normally in a second year of an event there

are no more than about thirty boats. Gaastra’s organization

is just superb. They are setting an example of how a regatta

should be run, and it shows. People are coming back and

even more competitors are coming.” With several Volvo

Ocean Races and a shipload of other regattas under his belt,

Bouwe Bekking knows what he’s talking about.

Bekk ing f in ished four th sai l ing the Highland

Breeze in the 2011 edit ion of the Voiles de

Saint Barth. “We were sailing a cruising boat

against state-of-the-art racing yachts like the

Rambler. That was quite a challenge.” A freak accident

put a dent in the team’s chances of winning. “One of

our guys was organiz ing the fore deck. He stepped

on a glass hatch and went right through it. Normally a

hatch like that shouldn’t break. He was injured quite

badly. That’s why it took us so long to take the spinnaker

down. Medical attention had priority. Understandably

it cost us dearly. It’s just one of those things that can

happen. And it can happen in an instant.”

With its pearly white beaches, gorgeous blue ocean and

wonderful sunny climate it is always a pleasure to spend

time on Saint Barth. But during Les Voiles, the island

turns into a paradise for anyone interested in yachting.

The conditions guarantee exciting races. “Our boat likes

a good breeze. And that’s the great thing about the

Caribbean. We had 20 to 25 knots all week.” The event

attracts top talent from all over the world. The relaxed

at t itude of the local people is the icing on the cake.

Les Voiles de Saint Barth is a truly magical event.

collection

A tribute to nautical history and Gaastra's own classic heritage.

Gaastra Breton is all about subtle elegance. This timeless

classic collection is named after the nautical Breton stripe,

one of history’s most iconic designs. But Gaastra has a

lot more to offer than striped garments. Breton is a high-

spirited collection, with a rich mix of materials, patterns,

appliqués, emblems and details.

ITALIAN RIVIERA Pastel colors paint the picturesque

rows of houses along this famous Italian coastline. The

Gaastra Italian Riviera line combines these hues with

the sweet colors of pistachio, vanilla and strawberry ice

cream. It’s a playful and romantic collection with stylish

upbeat designs like multi-colored checks, stripes and

millefleur prints.

CAPRI REGATTA Navy combined with shades of white

dominate the Capri Regatta line. The color scheme sets an

authentic nautical tone intensified by the use of rich linen

and structured canvas. Washed-out blues, warm orange

accents and an overall sea-weathered look add a rugged feel.

THE C APRI REGATTA LINE IS NAMED AFTER A FAMOUS ITALIAN ISLAND. It is one most luxurious

getaways for the wealthy of the Mediterranean. Every year a

host of A-list celebrities is spotted on Capri. The tiny island

in the Gulf of Naples boasts a number of exclusive stores

that would be the pride of any large city. All of Italy’s most

famous designer brands are represented. The average price

for mooring your yacht here is a staggering €3100 a day.

That is, if you can get a spot. Due to the limited number

of berths and the island’s immense popularity, you’ll have

to book months in advance.

When it comes to iconic nautical clothing, the pea coat has

to be top of the list. For centuries, this classic design was

part of the standard uniform of many navy sailors in the

United States and Europe. The classic pea coat (or ‘caban’

as it is sometimes called) is a heavy wool, double-breasted

overcoat with broad lapels, large wooden or metal buttons

and vertical or slash pockets. American newspapers mention

the pea jacket as early as the 1720s. The pea coat quickly

became popular among the general public and has never

really been out of style since.

In the 1960s and 1970s Jacky Kennedy Onassis was often

seen in contemporary versions. That is why pea coats

worn by women are often referred to as 'Jacky O' jackets.

This year’s Breton collection offers a selection of double-

breasted cardigans and jackets for both men and women.

It is a worthy tribute to a true icon and perfectly in line with

the timeless classic look and feel of the Breton collection.

Cardigan inspired by the traditional pea coat.

Luxurious details rev up the overall casual look and

feel of Capri Regatta. Notice the millefleur design

under the collar and the warm orange accents in

the appliqué.

THE ITALIAN RIVIERA COLLECTION is inspired by one

of Italy’s most illustrious regions. Extending down from the

city of Genoa, the Italian Riviera strings together a delightful

array of picturesque fisher towns. Each has its own distinct

charm. Here is all you could wish for: beautiful landscapes,

a mild climate, rich history and many romantic little streets

and squares. Sailing along past the characteristic pastel

colored houses, old harbors and churches, you know that

you’ve set course for history.

Moor in one of the towns and discover how much there is

to experience here. Although most of the villages are

minuscule, many are world famous. Portofino has only some

500 official inhabitants, but it has been a jet set hotspot for

ages. A trip along the Italian Riviera is magical. A sure bet

for nautical adventure.
