| Our online store provides you the latest in Sailing accessories, bags, weather and waterproof clothing to make your time on the water more comfortable, whether it's day out on the harbour or a grualing offshore yacht race.
Our products come from the worlds leading suppliers of dinghy and yacht sailing equipment. Beginning in 1897, a young Dutch sailmaker, Douwe Gaastra became known for the high quality of his fine cotton sails. In order to distinguish his products from imitators, he embroidered the outline of the castle-like gate over his hometown canals on all his work.
The Gaastra Castle soon became recognized as a mark of quality. The elegant simplicity in design, the finest materials, and the highest levels of craftsmanship guaranteed the company's survival through wars and Depression.
Today we hold to the very same standards. Gaastra has its place in history and is here today because we listen to you.
