Peter Munzlinger - New Gaastra Sail designer

 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.
