Statement of the Gaastra Sails R&D Department.

More sails of the 2011 range got the INSET CLEW system. what is the idea behind this? R&D: For 2011, we added the INSET CLEW design into a couple more sails in our range, specifically the GTXrace and the SAVAGE. We liked the setup on our Vapor, and so did our customers and team-riders. We found that the design improves handling and speed in the super top-end, as the whole leech plate works in unison, and the shifted clew loads hold the draft forward. Adding the INSET CLEW demands an easy extra step in the rigging process, so felt it was best to limit the design to our freerace machines. In this case, it was natural to re-design the GTXrace around the concept, while the new no-cam, SAVAGE, was designed from the base up with everything weve learned about the system in the last seasons. So, what are basically the advantages in this system? R&D: The fundemental difference is the shift in clew loading away from the low perimeter. This shift frees the low leech plate to react to gust onslaught, and keeps the profiles from getting too round in the back. Our design is unique, as we focused on keeping harmony between the areas of the sail just above and below the boom. We wanted to attack the aerodynamic problems created by the cut away designs elsewhere on the market, and our INSET CLEW design provided a clean solution. The bottom line is the end user enjoys a shorter boom, and more control, especially in the high-end. The new SAVAGE comes additionally as a freerace sail into the range... what is the idea of this sail? R&D: The new Savage might be the most exciting new product in the Gaastra range. Its a no-holds-barred speed machine, made without the rigging hassle of cambers. The sail boasts race profile, and has an exciting top-end. With a robust batten layout, and the INSET CLEW system, the sail has a huge windrange combined with smooth easy handling and rigging. This is my first choice for getting out there and pushing it. What about the other newcomer in 2011? the CROSS replaces the REMEDY. what is the story behind it? R&D: Another new face in 2011 is the CROSS. Its roots lie in the longtime benchmark product, the Gaastra Remedy that delivered back-to-back Super X titles to Matt Pritchard. This year we started with the Remedy and began to rework its design to optimize it for the general market. The sail needed to be super quick, stable, and still able to handle aggressive maneuvers. As we went through the prototyping process, we really started a full re-design. Soon shorter luff lengths, like you see throughout the 2011 lineup, came in as a major parameter, and we worked our way toward a superior setup. The final result is a brand new legend, and a brand new line. Grab one today, and unleash your full potential. Thomas Traversa got his own signature series this season. the IQ is out for some time already, what is the feedback on the sail, and how do you see the competition against the MANIC? R&D: 2011 is a big year for Gaastra. We have really re-worked our products to fit an evolving marketplace. There are so many multi-fin boards on the market now, that horsepower has become a real important part of any sail designers thinking. It simply takes more juice, to push these fins through the water. Besides horsepower, the second trend is to create more compact sails, where the power sits close to the rider. If you look at our range, you will see these ideas everywhere. IQ Thomas Traversas IQ was a breakthrough product for us. We prototyped it for several years within our own quiver, and finally released it for 2011. It features predominantly a 4 batten layout, with the biggest sails benefitting from a 5th batten. The IQ is our baby, and the theory and compact structure of this sail line can be traced all the way back. We are perhaps a bit proud to be the father of this design concept, and its nice to see that the market has finally started realize the potential of these short rigs. Its sails like the IQ that are opening up new doors for the best riders out there. Watch the Thomas video segments. Its mind blowing. MANIC The new Manic is basically a melting pot of the 2010 Manic, mixed with the fresh ideas from the IQ. This sail is a wave killer. Guys like Kevin and Ross are killing it on the new Manic. It is super comfortable at Hookipa, while working terrific at your local break as well. It keeps its lower clew grommet, and Dacron luff panel for maximum elasticity. The big update is the more compact outline, putting the power spot closer to the rider, and overall reducing mast count. We would say that the Manic still defines the perfect side-off kit.

POISON The Poison is the most classic sail in the lineup. It still features and xply luff panel, slightly stiffer shaping, and a higher clew. For 2011, its luff and booms are updated, but it still has that torque quality from yesterdays Poison. This sail excels in real world, and onshore conditions, while remaining rock solid in the top end. Gaastra has quite an impressive team right now. must be great to work with all these athletes... R&D: Our team is amazing. Without them, the sails wouldnt be where they are today. We rely on them for endless feedback. Their complaints and wishes are what drive the development cycle. FREESTYLE In freestyle we have Kiri, Tonky, Kiri, Steven, Davy u name it. There is no question that we ARE the guys to beat. Overall, weve been the strongest team in freestyle for years. These guys are always looking for light, ultra maneuverable sails that still have the pop to get them moving after stomping a trick. WAVES For our wave equipment division, we have Ross, Kevin, Alex and Thomas Kevin is nearly unbeatable at Hookipa, while Alex and Thomas are innovators, and perhaps the most exciting free-sailors in the world. Ross drives hard, and has the ever-impressive ability to make anything look easy. We get different perspectives from these guys, which is perfect when we sit down to create a design brief. RACING You want to talk about a powerhouse lineup? Our Gaastra Race Team consists of Ross, Arnon, Kevin, Cedric, Sarah Q, and Alberto. These guys know what they want, and demand excellence in their equipment. Its hard work to try to keep them happy, but the resultant product is spectacular. We feel pretty lucky to have this much talent in our camp. The VAPOR is all new designed by Peter Munzlinger, Gaastras new designer... any news? Peter: Im happy to already have found such great success with this sail. Having the accessibility to the latest and greatest materials combined with a great production facility make this job a dream! It has been a team effort together with Arnon and Alberto and we are just beginning. My focus has always been on creating fast sails and I will continue doing this year round! The whole team is responsible for the Vapor development, with each adding a big chunk of ideas and feedback into the mix. Ross brings Formula championships and top rankings in Slalom. Kevins been the champ before, and Cedric has the determination to make his mark. In the end, its feedback, development, work... We follow our passion, and the customers reap the benefits. Where and how, and with whom do you test the slalom sails? R&D: Maui, Sardinia, Marseille, Germany, Argentina, and every single stop on the PWA tour. The development is an endless process, and an endless commitment. Its our job, and we love it.

Peter Munzlinger at work.

MANIC RE - INVENTED.
This years Manic sees a complete new design outlook. The luff has been shortened and has a wider head to compensate for this. The Manic borrows design ideas from the IQ while retaining all its successful features from the past, creating a sail that is perfect for any rider. R&D: We had to step up the Manics design for this year. We went to the drawing board and came up with a morph of the IQ and the Manic... we combined the two and have what I would consider the perfect balance! The all new design features the same quality you would always demand from the Manic. The Dacron Luff Panel provides a soft responsive and elastic drive. The shape stays locked forward so you are always in control. Flat profiles and the perfect twist make the sail ultra smooth and fun to ride. You can turn it on or off instantly. The Manic holds true to its roots- A sail that you can rely on in any condition. Kevin Pritchard: Im stoked on the new Manic. It has that new feeling I am looking for- it is more compact so I can smack the lip harder and let loose! It really compliments my quad fin boards and makes me feel like Im riding a smaller sail with just as much power. Bottom line:

The Manic delivers greatness to any condition. It will perform in strong winds, light winds, choppy waters, smooth water or whatever you can throw at it. It is a great high wind sail for riders looking for perfect harmony in their rigs. No matter what level of sailor you are, you cant go wrong with the Manic!

The Manic HD borrows design ideas from the IQ while retaining all its successful features from the past, creating a sail that is perfect for any rider. R&D: This is one tough sail. We have all the same undercover reinforcements as the Manic and we take it to the ultimate level with an all- X ply window No more excuses for not hitting that lip! The all new design features the same quality you would always demand from the Manic. A full body X ply grid keeps everything held together under extreme load. The Dacron Luff Panel provides a soft responsive and elastic drive. The shape stays locked forward so you are always in control. Flat profiles and the perfect twist make the sail ultra smooth and fun to ride. You can turn it on or off instantly. The Manic HD is built to lastRoss Williams: I pretty much go for broke on any wave I catch. If I end up on the rocks I just hope my gear is still in one piece and I can get right back out there. The HD Manic keeps me going strong- When I do break everything, it was a pretty good wipeout! Bottom line:

The Manic HD is strong and built to last whatever you throw at it. It is the same design as the Manic just with an all X ply construction. Bomb proof!

POISON POWER UP.

The Poison remains our powerhouse people mover. Get up and go with built in power generated from enhanced seem shaping combined with our twinstripe X ply luff panel. A longer boom length and a new outline put the Poison in a league of its own. A perfect combination of Power and control that keeps you moving in light and gusty winds. R&D: For this years Poison we changed the outline up to get a more efficient flow through the wind. The seam shaping has increased a taste to deliver more power that is controlled with the new outline. The luff curve has been adjusted to provide more rig tension and a better twist flow. The Poison delivers power with its longer boom length and loaded seem shape. The twinstripe X ply luff panel keeps a steady feel to the rig. A higher clew height gives a firmer leach that keeps power in your hands. Arnon Dagan: When I sail in light winds and I need power to get moving in the onshore conditions. The Poison gives me what I am looking for and more! Bottom line:

The Poison will perform in just about any condition. It is great for the big guys wave sail. Power to move, stability in the high winds. More backhanded power as compared to Manic and IQ. Makes for a great bump and jump sail for lakes, rivers or other places when the wind is less consistent.

The newly designed twin cam recreational sail stands out with all new features. A magazine test winner, the Swift is ready for flat out fun anytime in any condition! R&D: We worked hard to deliver a twin cam sail that has plenty of power and stability. We have repositioned the shape to lock in more forward keeping the sail accelerating in gusts. Less drag means more speed! This 2 cam freeride sail locks in the draft and sets a new boundary for a twin cam rig. A six batten skeleton is used for sizes 6.0 and up while a 5 batten setup is used from 5.5 and down. Gaastras signature triangulated load bearing panels ensure ultimate strength to weight ratio. Kevin Pritchard: For a twin cam sail, I could go pretty fast on the Swift. It was easy in my hands and had a steady pull to get me going- It was light and fun to ride! Bottom line:

If you want a cam sail that is light and tight, the Swift is your answer. With 2 cams you get good top end stability and will be able to keep the sail locked and loaded through the lulls. An easy to use cam sail that is a great step from a RAF rig towards a more race like rig.

SAVAGE

BEAUTIFUL BEAST.
The all new no- cam race sail that delivers top of the line Vapor like performance combined with Matrix like rigging. The merge of two sail types into one! A fire breathing weapon that will smoke any RAF sail that gets close! R&D: This particular sail has been on our list of things we wanted to make... and here it is. A sail that can rig easily and perform with the other guys on cambered sails. An 8 batten skeleton combined with the inset clew deliver stellar performance. A revolutionary concept built to annihilate all challengers. Ross Williams: If there was a PWA discipline requiring no- cam sails this baby would be the bomb! I was impressed with the speed and handling! Bottom line:

For those that want race like performance without the hassle of cams, this is the easy choice. You could think of this sail as the RAF Vapor.

INSET CLEW Details:

The Inset Clew shortens the boom, provides effortless acceleration, and higher performance in disturbed wind and choppy conditions. The Inset Clew provides automatic depower control in puffs, by allowing the battens to twist open behind the boom. Normally, in a gust the center of effort moves backward and the draft increases making the sail feel backhanded, and unwieldy. This invention stabilizes the draft depth and holds the center of effort forward keeping the power in your hands where it belongs. Unlike competitors, the Gaastra Inset Clew repositions the boom and center of effort without compromising the outline. This allows the battens above and below the boom to react to the automatic depower this feature provides. Keeping the area beneath the back of the boom prevents us from needing to put that area somewhere else. Furthermore, this helps maintain a low and easily controlled center of effort. A protective silica bead around the inside of the opening and a maintenance free mini-batten beneath it guarantee smooth shape and infinite longevity.

LEADER OF THE PACK.

The GTXrace for 2011 sets a new precedence for a 3 cam race sail. Complete with the unique Gaastra Inset Clew design, this race horse keeps you moving at top speed all the time. The GTXrace will give the Vapor a run for its money. R&D: We just keep learning when developing the Vapors and the GTXrace always benefits. This market sector is getting bigger and bigger and we are confident this design for 2011 will be hard to beat! The semi-wide sock technology and 3 cam set up make the GTXrace light and nimble. It will jump on a plane and get up to speed with lightning quickness. Sizes 7.0 and down have a 7 batten configuration while the 7.5 and up have an 8 batten configuration. This gives the sail the ideal proportions and gives more life to each size! Arnon Dagan: Smokin fast- If I wasnt racing on the world tour, the GTX would be good enough for me. I love the weight and feeling of the rig- it is almost good enough for me to spritz the world champion! Bottom line:

A perfect slalom racing machine that gives anyone wanting to go fast the perfect opportunity. Suits recreational racers looking for easier operation than that of a full bred racing sail.

VAPOR

THE ULTIMATE EDGE!

Get ready to feast your eyes on the all-new Race Weapon from Gaastras new designer, Peter Munzlinger. We set out on a big mission to get the Vapors to a new level of performance- Over the past month, our test team of Arnon Dagan and Alberto Menegatti have been hammering away on the water and progressing the sails like I have never seen! says Peter. This latest creation sees a dramatic improvement over anything that has come out of the Vapor range so far. A lower aspect ratio setup gives a slightly longer boom length that promotes instant acceleration. This new design makes a more flexible rig that keeps you moving faster and faster through heavy waters. New Cambers together with new shaping characteristics combined with the revolutionary Inset Clew make this new sail a Fire Breather! Technique: The main features of the sails are a dynamic twist given by the tension of the leech that matches perfectly the bending curve of the Gaastra masts. The New Large Cambers keep the sail shape locked into position without compromise. Rotation is effortless and will continue to be the leader in cam sail rotation. New SAS (shock absorption system) has been specifically developed to absorb chop at top speed. With our new K 105 Aramid Sock Material, we are able to control the flex characteristics of the top part of the sail. This bird like feature lets the gust hit and the material flexes keeping you in control. In bumpy conditions, this allows the rider to move faster forward without getting pulled around having to adjust to the water conditions. Arnon Dagan: I have tried a lot of sails and spent hours upon hours of research and development on racing sails. These new designs are incredible!!! I cant wait to get on the race course in 2011! Bottom line:

An all out equipped race bred machine that is prepared to deliver podium performance. No compromises have been made to this range. There is only one way to see what the all new Vapor can do: Get on one as soon as you can and lead the pack!
