Gaastra

Gaastra was formed in 1897 by 22-year-old Douwe Gaastra in Sneek, The Netherlands. His ambition was to sail faster and longer and inventing Holland’s world-class best brand for quality and craftsmanship in sailing.

In a short time Gaastra became the number one brand in the global world of sailing as Douwe devote themselves to making the finest sailing venues – still respect this heritage with the same desire.
