Transferts des pros 2011

Peter Munzlinger quitte Point-7 pour Gaastra :

Gaastra is happy to announce Peter Munzlinger as the new Gaastra Saildesigner !

The Peter Munzlinger story: German born, grow up in Italy, Peter started his sail designer carrier very young at North Sails creating his first success, the Prisma, a real best seller at the time. After that he was hired by DaKine Hawaii as they wanted to make a windsurfing sails business, but that project never really materialized so he started his own Yes sails brand. The start was immediately a bang as with his teamrider Andrea Cucchi the revolutionary 2 cam Yes racing sails immediately won most of the races in Italy and also internationally, at the point that many top World Cup racers used them even not being sponsored. In the last years Peter worked with longtime friend Andrea at his brand Point 7 creating again attention with those so different looking black sails.

One common point in Peter’s sails through the years has been the speed and the ease of use. And also the dynamic and active rig response that many customers have always appreciated. Now with Gaastra finally Peter has the chance to work with one of the “big names” and fully show his potential thanks to the structures and access to materials he only could dream of in the past.

Living in Sardinia he has many great spots in his neighborhood with great conditions for testing all year around. He is an active and passionate windsurfer since ages and has been a racer for many years, so he is able to feel in first hand the products he is developing and has a great communication with his team.

He was instrumental in setting up the new factory and will be missed. Gaastra wish him the best for his new endeavors. All Gaastra’s 2011 wave and freeride sails have been completed by Dan and showcase some of his greatest work to date. Gaastra’s new designer is Peter Munzlinger, who was the designer of Point 7 in the previous years. Peter will continue the great success of Gaastra sails. He is in charge already and more details will be announced shortly.”

Ça peut sous-entendre que Peter Munzlinger était passé chez Gaastra depuis quelques temps déjà

"Well I got a PR today . I have been to tarifa for the past 10 days were I was trying out some of the loft sails wich were very nice they gave me some sails to try out at home and see how the latest small preproduction sails are going . And yes here we go a PR first try !!! And topspeed of 90,00 on the software !!!!!!! So I will be joining loft sails for the coming season. Conditions were pretty good but very gusty and needed to do lots of runs to get the magic gust . More wind would have been even faster but was pretty nice already. "

Rien de confirmé officiellement sur son site web pour le moment, mais il semble qu'il y ait un peu de "ménage" prévu pour 2011 chez NP.

Dan Kaseler quitte Gaastra et Alex Mussolini quitte Vandal pour Gaastra !

"Ce changement de crèmerie très rapide nous a mis la puce à l’oreille quant à l’avenir de Vandal Sails (la marque restera t’elle dans le giron Gaastra ? Dan Kaseler est-il parti avec ?) et il sera intéressant de surveiller dans les prochains mois l’évolution des riders Vandal Sails comme Sarah-Quita Offringa ou Jamie Hancock, Antony Ruenes, remercié en juin dernier, étant passé depuis peu chez Simmer Sails…"
