The
user friendly, lighter, lower priced version of test winning Gaastra
Matrix.
Gaastra Pilot - Windsurf (UK) "is an uncomplicated and user-friendly
powerhouse, providing the impetus to get the most out of large boards
in marginal winds, and fast track the novice sailor into planing
conditions."
Gaastra Pilot 6.5m - PlancheMag "The sail is smooth and light with a
very stable profile. The strong point is definitely its balanced
compromise between lightness, handling and power. It is gentle without
being soft, what gives it a comfortable ride in choppy conditions and
on top, high speed."
