Sails - Cross, Gaastra
FASTER BLASTER
The Cross has been redesigned from scratch. With a new luff curve and more shape we realised more power in the low end and we made it lighter and more user friendly.
With one less batten in the sizes below the 6,4, the Cross is the perfect multipurpose sail, it combines the maneu- verability of a wave sail with the stability and speed of a freeride sail. Its skeleton is combined with normal and tube battens giving an incredible amount of control in the gusts and at higher speed making it the perfect bump & jump sail with tons of speed and turn ability.
PETER MUNZLINGER
"The 2014 Cross has a new luff curve and more shape in the front as we wanted to make it more powerful, but at the same time get that light feeling in your hands. We also put in a Dacron luff panel as it gives softness to the sail and makes it more smooth. We took one batten away on all except the two bigger sizes to have it more user friendly and lighter.
For the materials we used a combination of X-ply in the bottom and second luff panel for durability and stabil- ity, in the center top we put a 2ply panel for lightweight and a smoother transition to the leech which is C-film as we wanted a more direct feeling.
The Cross is built with our trademark radial panel lay- out, a newly designed tack fairing, softer and more user friendly. The new head and clew fairings give addition- al protection of those exposed areas of the sail."

"I couldn’t believe how easy this sail was to hang on to. It felt like I had nothing in my hands and I was going SOOOOO Fast. I haven’t been that fast ever! I could duck jibe the sail with ease and pass my buddies all day long- that was FUN!"
BOTTOM LINE
Extremely versatile for any board or any condition. The Cross is fast, fun and friendly.
