Gaastra Pilot - Windsurf (UK)
"Verdict:
The Pilot 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." (Full review below)

 

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."

 

The Pilot integrates nicely into any quiver with a range extending from 4.5 to 7.5. Full profiles combined with slightly longer booms, yield excellent bottom-end power to get you planning and stoked. Durable patching and details ensure fun for many future seasons.

2008 Gaastra Matrix 6.5 - Boards (UK ) June 2008
"very clear favourite from this test...we very strongly recommend this sail for any recreational freeride sailing and drag racing...great feedback and power while retaining easy handling, good top end and maneuverability...very impressed with it's real competitive edge over it's rivals without sacrificing comfort in any way...faster and more comfortable for blasting and maneuvering than opposition...excellent acceleration and top speed...extremely forgiving in heavy chop...allows very easy maneuvering of the board and goes neutral for easy handling...it is the first time for several seasons that we tried a no-cam sail that seems to move the genre forward a notch....best acceleration, always fast. Impressive"
