A new season has passed, and designing the 2014 range of sails for Gaastra has been very excit-ing. For most sails I redesigned them from scratch, this for several reasons. First I wanted to clean my files from all the added modifications that make it less and less clear for future evolutions, second during the 2013 development we learned many new things that I wanted to implement in the 2014 range. Instead of loading the designs with more modifications, making the handling of the files very complicated, I decided to start fresh with clean new files. We wanted the new sails to be more powerful but also light in the hands at the same time, so not to have the feeling of driving a truck. So we came up with a NEW LUFF CURVE CONCEPT (learn more details on the next pages) As for materials, we continue using our trademark 2PLY and C-Film fabrics.We added some new features, a new redesigned tack fairing, which is much softer and easier to use. New head fairings and a new clew construction for better protection to the exposed parts of the sails. For the vario tops we developed a new small feature, which protects the adjustable web-bing from chafing when it comes in contact to hard grounds. We have further evolved the radial panel layout to the next level by adding a load tape on certain lines and removing all possible weak points.Of course all the successful features and concepts introduced last season remain, like our innova-tive sail materials, 2 mast concept and the overall quality construction of Gaastra.Our new monocoque carbon booms are now fully available and proving their qualities, with their incredible weight and stiffness and superb grip.

If you get a chance to try out a new Gaastra sail, don’t hesitate! We pour our heart and soul into these products and you will be sure to notice this every time you sail a Gaastra rig.For more information and updates please check our website at www.gaastra.com

Much wind and lots of fun on the water!

NEW LUFF CURVE CONCEPT (learn more on the next pages...)

For more power and better handling. Imagine more power with less work.... These new rigs really do make your time on the water more effortless. No matter how powered up you get, the sails twist to keep you moving forward. The redesigned twist releases tension from the head and allows the leach to twist earlier, thus taking away the back hand pressure!

WIDER WIND RANGENow the sails can be more finely tuned than last years. We have accomplished this by more shape down low and plenty of range to be able to pull more downhaul without losing the power. The 2014 range adapts to just about any conditions you can throw at it.

DOUBLE SEAMThis heavy duty reinforcement area around the windowson the wave sails gives solid durability these critical areas.

RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT 3G (learn more on the next pages...)

Our panel layouts are the most efficient use of materialthat eliminates weak points by the natural panel layoutand radial panel design..

NEW CLEW AREAOur newly refined clew patch provides the ultimate in strength and durability. It also protects the stitching with the new styling features.

NEW TACK FAIRINGA redesign that makes the fold flow much easier. It is clean and just how it needs to be. Perfection!

DACRON LUFF PANELComes with all Manic, Manic HD, IQ, Poison, Pure, Cross, Pilot, Matrix allowing for a smoother/softer feeling that gives the sail life!

Gaastra 2PLY (learn more on the next pages...)

This Gaastra exclusive material lives in upper body of theManic, IQ, Poison, and Cross. Its lightweight, elastic responselowers swing weight keeping you in control at all times.

1111

Gaastra C-Film (learn more on the next pages...)

This Gaastra material offers 5 times stronger UV protectionthan standard clear monofilm. A huge advantages in durability and performance, because the profile and shape will stay more contant on the long term.

NEW RADIAL LOAD TAPEComes on Manic, Manic HD, IQ, Poison, Cross, Matrix and Cosmic. In addition to our radial panel layout, this reinforces the sail along the load lines while reducing the stretch of the material allowing the sail to hold its shape longer when you get hit with stronger winds.

NEW VARIO TOP PROTECTORThis little add on for the top cap on the Vario Tops protects the adjustable webbing from breaking down from wear and tear on rough ground.

NEW COLORS AND OPTICSWe freshened up the looks of our sails with new colors and details that catch everyone’s eyes.

COMPLETE REDESIGNAll of these sails have come from a blank canvas. We were able to reinvent greatness in a smoother more simplistic form.

REVISITED SEAM SHAPINGWith the new luff curves, we were able to adjust the seam shaping with fuller lines that are more forward in the sail. The back section is flatter which allows better twist and a lighter feel to the rig

2 MAST CONCEPT2 MAST CONCEPT on MANIC, MANIC HD, IQ and CROSS.Use all sizes on 2 masts only!!!

SAS - SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM (learn more on the next pages...)

The thin film laminate of the K105 gives a dynamic flex with a quicker response time to the top half of the mast sleeve. The special material not only saves weight but makes accelerating more instant so you can fly through chop and coast through lulls. The mast sleeve works in synergy with the specified mast absorbing shock and releasing power immediately. This keeps you and your sail full of energy!

1212

NEW LUFF CURVE CONCEPTWe are always looking for more power and better handling- the redesigned the luff curves and the shaping points in the sails give that unbelievable feeling! The sails have more power, and don’t get heavy in the hands. We released some tension from the head to redesign the twist character, making it easier to open in the gusts while the lower leech remains relatively open.

Pushing the shape more forward towards the luff was our main goal. Generally the luff curve becomes more round in the bottom and straighter in the top, to push more material in the sail near the mast and in the lower half to enable more twist up top. The amount of curve changes from sail to sail, but the overall idea stays the same. We extended the use of the DACRON LUFF PANEL to more sails in our range, taking advantage of its added smoothness and soft character.

RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT 3GImproved layout for perfect and locked in sail shape, smooth profile, twist control and durability. The 3rd Generation provides a full Radial Panel Layout from all 3 corners of the sail, the seams are aligned with the forces that originate from the tack, clew and head to avoid deformations of the shape and design of the sail. The new RADIAL LOAD TAPE brings even more heavy duty into the sails.

Gaastra 2-PLY FACTS

In order to be able to reduce the weight of the sails we developed a completely new range of laminate materials, with a much thinner film supported by a double structure of fibers, a balanced scrim of fibers orientated in the warp and fill and a classic X-Ply angled series of fibers. From here the name 2-Ply. We created a complex woven web with the highest durability that is very light weight.

Beside the proven X-Ply we use this new laminate in the upper sail body to achieve minimal swing weight and protection of critical areas.

• less weight: use of new 2-PLY laminate reduces the weight in the top area of the sail by more than 10%

• softer handling for better performance and comfort in gusts

• better strain value for perfect profile and shape over long term

• better UV resistance due to a thinner film• used in crucial sail areas for best response,

maneuverability and minimal swing weight

2121

Gaastra C-FILM FACTS

• 5 times better UV durability (compared to standard clear monofilm)

• constant long term profile and shape due to better durability

• better visibility of the sails on the water• brings back color and style to windsurfing

MANIC Gladiator of greatness

The 2014 Manic has been completely redesigned. The all-new Manic is more powerful and stable, with a constant and smooth power output which keeps it very light in the hands. We have greatly increased the drive.

The new character improves the light and balanced handling with Gaastra’s legendary neutrality on the waves. These new improvements make it easier to get out through the impact zone and give the sail a lot more stability. The Manic is in a class on its own! In any wave conditions, you can tell it what to do, where to go and how to do it...... She will listen!

I have been using the 4 batten sails for the last 5 years, i never thought about coming back to the 5 batten sails again. After trying the new 2014 Manic i was surprised how good the sail works, perfect control on strong and light winds and very maneuverable in the waves. Per-fect combination of control and looseness.

New luff curve and shaping points in the seams, getting more shape low and in the front of the sail and straight-ening the back. The battens have slightly more rotation than in previous models and the trimming range is more flexible. The clew position is relatively low, foot is rela-tively straight and the head is moderately exposed.

The top half of sail is in our lightweight and elastic 2-Ply material. We kept the Dacron luff panel as in our opin-ion it is the best material when looking for smooth and soft behavior, and great neutrality. The seams around the window are 30mm with 2 rows of triple stitch, for higher strength and durability. Radial panel layout further enhanced at the clew with additional radial tape reduces stretch and holds bet-ter sail shape. Newly redesigned tack fairing, softer and much more user friendly. The 2 mast concept allows all sizes to be rigged on 2 masts only. Newly designed head and clew fairings for additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail.Also available in HD version with a full Xply construction, to withstand the highest abuse.

The Manic is a great sail for all conditions and all wind-surfers. When it comes to performance in big or small waves, it is in a class by itself; a radical wave sail with neutral handling no matter what happens.

The new Poison has been completely redesigned with a fuller profile and a new luff curve. The 2014 Poison is more powerful but with the NEW Dacron luff panel, we improved neutrality and smoothness which makes it a superior wave sail in all conditions.

The Poison shines in onshore and gusty conditions. Heavi-er sailors will appreciate the fuller seams that can be tuned for more or less power- whatever your prefer! Dur-ing the development we used the prototypes in all kinds of conditions, from barely planing onshore, to South Af-rican strong offshore and peeling hollow waves condi-tions. A true all-rounder.

Poison

POISON COLORMAP

Lightweight and strong power wave sail

“In locations like Sylt, where you have to fight against strong currents and mostly massive shore break, the Poi-son is invaluable. It takes you out easily and will do what-ever you want once you are on the wave, even in the most powered up conditions.”

ROSS WILLIAMS

Whether you are in wavy or flat water conditions the Poison is an excellent choice. Anyone who likes a slight-ly back handed sail is in the right place with the Poison. Just sheet in and gusty winds or strong currents are no longer an issue.

Lightweight and strong new school wave sail

Compact & radical 4batten sail

Great range of use with perfect handling

The I.Q really stands out in marginal and tricky condi-tions, because it feels light, nervous and powerful at the same time. I also really like to use the I. Q in bigger waves for the drive it gives to the board, together with a com-pact feeling which allows some fast and tight turns

THOMAS TRAVERSA

The new IQ has a new luff curve while the profile and 4 batten concept remains the same. The shape has been updated for greater comfort. Although the IQ has been modified slightly, compared to the other 2014 wave sails, you can feel a great improvement on the water.

The sail now feels lighter in the hands and is much more controllable in the jumps. On the wave it is radical and agile as ever. The 4 batten design for the latest new school style, powerful and radical, for those who want to always stay closer to the hollow part of the wave.

IQ

IQ Quad-Zilla2014












New luff curve. The shape in the seams is slightly flat-ter, but more evenly distributed up high and in the front of the sail. The second batten twists more freely. We increased luff curve on the 4,7 to stiffen it up and re-duced the luff curve on the 4,0 to soften it up. This gives a more even feeling to the whole range. Shorter luff and slightly longer boom for an increased power output. Clew position is lowest, foot is relatively straight and high and head is relatively smaller.

Top half of sail is in our lightweight and elastic 2-Ply ma-terial and Dacron Luff panel for maximum neutrality. The seams around the window are 30mm with 2 rows of triple stitch, for higher strength and durability. Radial panel layout further enhanced at clew with ad-ditional radial tape reduces stretch and holds better shape of sail. New redesigned tack fairing, softer and user friendly. The 2 mast concept allow all sizes to be rigged on 2 masts only. Newly designed head and clew fairings for additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail.

PUREMagic Power!2014













For 2014 we refined the luff curve and worked on the twist pattern. What we are always aiming for is the right pressure point during the ducking ma-neuvers allowing a higher pop and bigger moves. We added a new size, 5,0, to really have the most complete range for any bodyweight and condi-tion.Construction wise the sail is built with our trade-mark radial panel layout and we choose monofilm due to the more direct character it gives. We stick to using a Dacron Luff panel as it tested as the best option for smooth feeling and neutrality. Many of our competitors finally started using this material in the luff, proving that we were always right in sticking to our choice for so many years. Newly designed tack fairing, softer and more user friendly. New head and clew fairings give addi-tional protection of those exposed areas of the sail.

The Cross has been redesigned from scratch. With a new luff curve and more shape we realised more power in the low end and we made it lighter and more user friendly.

With one less batten in the sizes below the 6,4, the Cross is the perfect multipurpose sail, it combines the maneu-verability of a wave sail with the stability and speed of a freeride sail. Its skeleton is combined with normal and tube battens giving an incredible amount of control in the gusts and at higher speed making it the perfect bump & jump sail with tons of speed and turn ability.

The 2014 Cross has a new luff curve and more shape in the front as we wanted to make it more powerful, but at the same time get that light feeling in your hands. We also put in a Dacron luff panel as it gives softness to the sail and makes it more smooth. We took one batten away on all except the two bigger sizes to have it more user friendly and lighter. For the materials we used a combination of X-ply in the bottom and second luff panel for durability and stabil-ity, in the center top we put a 2ply panel for lightweight and a smoother transition to the leech which is C-film as we wanted a more direct feeling. The Cross is built with our trademark radial panel lay-out, a newly designed tack fairing, softer and more user friendly. The new head and clew fairings give addition-al protection of those exposed areas of the sail.

We are using colored C-Film which offers greater visibil-ity and recognition on the water with a much longer life due the high UV resistance. Outlines and luff lengths are perfectly adjusted to use the least amount of masts possible. We also eliminated unnecessary roundings in the outline and reworked the twist to get smoother handling characteristics. The Dacron luff panel provides the best solution for a neutral behavior.

Learning to windsurf has never been easier than with the Pilot. The design characteristics make it feel light in the hands and allow you to think about your moves. The Radial Panel Layout 3G makes it super robust and efficient.

The 2014 model has a refined luff curve following the general concept of our new range. Along with more shape in the front seams we pushed the profile closer to the luff to achieve more power and pulling from the front. More twist in the head brings more life to the sail.This makes the new Matrix also lighter in your hands be-cause we reduced some parasitic side force making this 6 battens sail (3 tubes) accelerate faster in the gusts achieving a higher and more comfortable top end speed. The outline remains similar with minor adjustments and we use the Dacron Luff Panel, which increased the smoothness of the sail. Our trademark features such as C-Film, Radial panel layout,and new designed tack fairing round out the greatness of this range. Newly designed head and clew fairings for additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail keep your sail looking new.

This no cam rig can race like a slalom sail, turn like a wave sail and put a smile on anyone! Easy to rig and tune, this is the ultimate free ride machine.

This sail is alive and kicks! When I rigged the Cos-mic first time I noticed it was very easy to rig . The Cosmic on the water really came alive for me and was stunned by the performance and easy handling of this free rider. Easy, fast and early planing make this sail king.

Modified luff curve and shaping also for the new Cos-mic. A fuller more powerful entry pushes the perfor-mance one step further. The mast sleeve is slightly nar-rower than last year and also the luff panel is moved more forward to enhance the pull from the front. The sail is more efficient, accelerates better in the gusts with less side force, the wind creates more propulsion and less pull on your hands. The twist in the head is more free and the overall amount of luffcurve is reduced, making the sail more lively.Our trademark features such as C-Film, Radial panel layout, new designed tack fairing, make the sails softer and more user friendly. Newly designed head and clew fairings for additional protection of all exposed areas of the sail.

It will be hard to find any sail that will come close to the two Cam Cosmic. A locked in shape that delivers greatness for all flat water conditions.

SAVAGE COLORMAP

Quasi race sail performance

No cam rotation

Great performance in all conditions

6161

The Savage is a no cam slalom sail, which has all the features of a race sail, but in a much more accessible package, with no cambers.

If you compare it to a classic free ride sail, the SAVAGE comes with 7 tube rod battens. A dropped tack that allows it to be rigged further down for a better gap closure, making it a more high end performance ori-ented sail. It is perfectly suited to freerace and slalom boards. The narrow sleeve and no cams make it very user friendly in the jibes.

• use of C-Film // for better durability and perfor-mance




• Vario Top protector // this little feature protects the exposed adjustable webbing from wear and tear.


• seven battens• no cambers• Drop tack with tension strap // 100% race sail per-

stays low in the sail.• Dynamic twist pattern // smooth behavior and

New luff curve and new shaping to make a rounder entry with more twist in the head. All these features give a more efficient, lighter feeling with better performance. The 2013 model was already very fast, so we gave the new sail more overall power through the range to increase the average speed on the course -not just the top end speeds. No major changes on the outline. Our trademark fea-tures such as C-Film, Radial panel layout, new designed tack fairing, softer and more user friendly round out this great range. Newly designed head and clew fairings give additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail.

All the advantages of a race sail without all the dis-advantages of cambers! Jibes like a free ride sail, has speed like a race sail. What more could you ask for?

PHANTOM COLORMAP

Race sail performance

User friendly with moderate sleeve width

Lighter and Less cams than a race sail

I actually train racing with the Phantom because it is so easy to jibe, perform and go fast without using to much power/energy. The level of high performance is accessible for all!

CEDRIC BORDES

6565

The 2014 Phantom is a high performance freerace sail. It is recommended for all riders interested in maximum speed and performance. Effortless to rig and easy to ride fast, which makes you deadly on the race course.

We took the bottom camber off making it a 2 cam sail as we found it was not useful. By doing this, we made the rigging and the handling of the sail easier. Only a few details make the Vapor more competitive on the race course, but those are exploited only by the best and most trained riders. Everybody else is probably faster on a Phantom- basically a version of the Vapor with a narrower sleeve, one batten less, only 2 cams with all the other same features and materials.





• Vario Top protector // this little feature protects the exposed adjustable webbing from wear and tear.


• SAS (Shock Absorbing System) // with K105 mate-rial allows the rig to flex under high loads at high speeds

• neoprene closure of boom cutout // for advanced aerodynamics

The first thing you notice on the new Phantom is the re-moved bottom camber. Now it has 2 cambers and like the other sails in the 2014 range has a new luff curve and seam shaping to push the profile to the front mak-ing the sail more efficient while increasing the range of use. We added a second luff panel in the top half of the sail to better control the twist. The head is more lively with a more active twist. The outline remains the same as 2013 allowing you to rig most sizes with only 2 masts.Our trademark features such as C-Film, Radial panel layout, new designed tack fairing, softer and more user friendly round out this great range. Newly designed head and clew fairings give additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail.

SAS SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM

SAS SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEMThe thin film laminate of the KI05 gives a dynamic flex with a quicker response time to the top half of the mast sleeve. The special material not only saves weight but makes accel-erating more instant so you can fly through chop and coast through lulls. The mast sleeve works in synergy with the specified mast absorbing shock and releasing power immedi-ately. This keeps you and your sail full of energy!

The new Vapor is a full blown racing machine, the new curves the Vapor got really make the sail come to life . The control, power, speed and early planing have all been improved on this new rac-ing machine. So if your goal is winning this is the best sail to do it!

BEN VAN DER STEEN

The Vapor is Gaastra’s full racing sail. It is a no compro-mise design that undergoes continuous development work throughout the year. As soon as the 2013 model was finished and put in pro-duction we started working on the 2014 model. The first PWA race in Korea was very successful with our new teamrider Ben van Der Steen on the third place of the podium and Cedric Bordes in the top ten. Ross Williams was absent due to injury. Development is under way and we might add a larger size with the new lightwind racing rule of the PWA.

The time has come for Gaastra to step up to the plate with the ultimate competition boom. Currently we are finalizing the production of one of the best booms ever to hit the market. We have 2 sizes for wave and freestyle, along with 3 race sizes each having monocoque one piece carbon tail pieces.The Outline curves are optimized based on target sail sizes and the back ends come with different widths for each boom length making for a perfectly integrated rig. The Race back ends will come with a built in pulley system for adjustable outhauls.

Oversized front and tail sections for increased stiffness, reduced diameter in the grip area for increased com-fort and ergonomics. A textured grip section in the grip area increases the traction. A stiff mast cup for direct force transmission between the boom and mast makes the connection rock solid.A long closing lever for easy opening and closure while rigging.

The new high tech Gaastra front end is built out of reinforced Plastic for more stiffness, better power load for more performance and lighter weight for better handling.

The new monocoque arms and back ends are built out of the best 100% Carbon quality composite technol-ogy. The all new Gaastra molds are produced under extreme heat and pressure to reach the highest level of carbon composite quality.

CARBON LINES

Gaastra Race Boom 100 % CarbonThe All- New Gaastra Race Boom comes in 3 sizes: 180 200 and 220. A no compromise racing boom extremely stiff and light. In particular the monocoque molded tail with integrated pulleys is super light and ultra stiff reducing considerably the swing weight which is a very important factor for jibing around the marks of the racing course. The front and back sections are oversized, properly making it the stiffest and lightest boom on the market.

The Blue line Monocoque V Grip continues to be a great option in our range. With a super stiff V, the boom combines a decade of riding wisdom with the futuristic performance and no compromises! Stiffness and lightweight are your friends and that is what the Gaastra V-Grip is all about. The double cavity alloy section saves weight without sacrificing stiffness and durability. The V shape walks the line between ample power and forgiving flex, EVA cushioned comfort and straight-line stability. The Monocoque V Grip is for all those who are looking for a lightweight high performance boom in all conditions.

The Black line is uniquely tapered to provide extra stiffness in the back section of the boom. Tests indicate it to be 20% stiffer than the Green line! The new boom head provides a tight connection to the mast while a double push pin operating system guarantees strength and durability. Different bends for each size range make this boom a perfect compromise to carbon performance.

The Vapor Formula has proven itself to be the fastest upwind race machine available. Ross Williams annihilated the Formula scene and easily took the Championship Title on this board. Most other brands have been working hard to catch up to this race winning design. The Team construction is built to save weight and increase stiffness- this is the secret to getting to the top mark FIRST. Once you set foot on the Vapor board, you will feel the proven magic.

We have done our homework on this board and all our team are DEADLY on the race course. I can’t wait to get my new sails and this board on the starting line for 2013. WATCH OUT!
