VANDAL SAILS 2015 At Vandal we are certainly no new kids on the block. We were born under the wing of Gaastra, a company that has been leading the field for over 25 years, and we were born with a purpose‌ we aim to create the highest performing products at low costs.


Vandal 2015

HOW? Windsurfing is an expensive sport, there is no denying that. It’s time for a fresh new approach, to buck the trend, to offer more for less... Here we don’t believe in having a large international team of riders, we don’t have the overheads of a small start up company and we don’t invest large budgets into fancy marketing campaigns. No, our focus is purely on our products, their price and you, our customers. With Gaastra, we are one of the only brands world wide who produce our own products in our own factory based in China. Our sail cloth is also produced by our own factory in Taiwan. So with the backing and experience of a leading manufacturer, and the best possible materials available, we have been quietly working hard to produce the most durable, high quality range of products that are outstanding in both performance and price. Have you always wanted that extra sail to your quiver to make the most of those days on the water? Well, we might just be able to help... There are no gimmicks, we produce test winning products with prices that don’t lie.

We are excited to bring to you the 2015 Vandal range We have produced once again a line of test winning sails developed by our in house designer. New for 2015, we’ve extended our Vandal range with a brand new twin cam sail which we have named the ‘Mission’, we also have a brand new design for the ‘Riot’, our radical wave and new school freestyle sail. All of our sails have been updated with a fresh new set of graphics along with these following features.

QUALITY We use only the best materials for our Vandal range. The very light and durable “Dimension Polyant” 2ply and xply material is used throughout all the sails. This along with high quality clear and coloured mono film gives our sails high UV resistance and come in a range of great colours. We also included our own newly developed “IYU” neon water repellent mast sleeve material which is both the lightest in weight and strength around.


Vandal 2015

TECHNOLOGY

BCP BIONIC CONCAVE PANEL This is an essential factor to the success of our Vandal sail designs. The bionic concave panel layout is the triangular curve design around the sails window. This panel layout makes for the perfect distribution of power over the seams within the sails body creating better stability, durability and overall performance.

IMC 2015 INTELLIGENT MASTSLEEVE CURVE The intelligent mast sleeve curve has been introduced to the ‘Mission’. It is made with a narrow sleeve from the top of the sail down to the first snap on camber that sits just above the boom. The sleeve then opens up creating a deeper powerful profile with a nice twist at the top of the sail. This allows for an incredibly stable balanced feel in the hand and excellent early planing capabilities.

ENEMY ENEMY HD The Enemy comes once again with two versions with a 100% xply material throughout the Enemy HD and a mono film window introduced for the standard Enemy. The Enemy is our hardcore wave sail designed to cope with everything there is to be thrown at it. For 2015 we have adapted the concave panel layout to create a better profile for better stability and overall performance. There is the lightweight 2 ply material in to the upper body of the sail to ensure a low swing weight and lightweight feel in the hand.

FACTS • A heavy duty, rugged wave sail for all wavesailing conditions • Enemy comes with x-ply / 2ply materials and a mono film window • Enemy HD comes with 2ply and x-ply throughout • A lower clew position provides easy control and balance throughout aggressive bottom turns • Dacron luff panel works to either a flat or deep profile depending on the outhaul preference • Folded back tack patching and silicon batten bumpers protects the stitching from grinding on your board and ground • Strap-on systems keeps your sail rolled up tight

Vandal 2015

RIOT The Riot is our best handling and performance wave / freestyle sail. All wave sailors out there want that lightweight feel in their hands whilst receiving constant power throughout their turns, and all freestylers want that power instantly to pop into their moves. For 2015 we’ve created an earlier delivery of power that is always there when you need it. We’ve made a few defined tweaks to its design and included a couple of extra sizes to the line up. We kept the short luff concept for maneuverability and adjusted the design to bring better power delivery, better handling and overall stability. This beautifully balanced feel comes from the improved bionic concave panel layout and the use of light weight materials in the upper body of the sail. We’re very excited about this sail and urge every wave and freestyle enthusiast out there to get their hands on one.

FACTS • A newly designed all round wave / freestyle performance sail • Sizes 3.6m to 5.0m come with 4 battens • Sizes 5.3m to 5.8m come with 5 battens • Every Riot sail can fit onto a 400cm mast with the 4.7m and all sizes below coming with a vario top • Folded back tack patching and silicon batten bumpers protects the stitching from grinding on your board and ground • Strap-on systems keeps your sail rolled up tight

Vandal 2015

ADDICT The Addict is our no cam crossover Bump and Jump sail. The extremely versatile 2015 Addict has a new concave panel layout and has also been introduced with a couple of extra sail sizes to this very popular design. We know how some freeriders out there like to get airborne and mix things up a bit on the water, for that reason we’ve focused on keeping the Addict as manoeuvrable as possible for 2015. The slightly concaved leach design will eliminate any leach flutter whilst maintaining stability and with the full profile the Addict will get you planing straight off the beach. The dacron luff panel is incredibly water resistant keeping the sail lightweight and comfortable whether you are blasting or water starting. It’s also vital to delivering a great wind range and profile when the winds increase.

FACTS • A light, manoeuvrable bump and jump Freeride sail • 5 battens for 5.5m - 6.5m / 6 battens for the 7.0m and 7.5m sizes • Slightly concaved leach tension keeps your sail perfectly tensioned throughout all wind strengths • Dacron Luff panel provides a great wind range and locks the sails overall profile in place when the wind increases • X-ply in the perimeter areas keeping the sail lightweight and durable • A full profile delivering early planing abilities in bother lighter winds and after busting out some airtime • Folded back tack patching and silicon batten bumpers protects the stitching from grinding on your board and ground • Strap-on systems keeps your sail rolled up tight

STITCH


STITCH The Stitch is our no cam Freeride / Freerace sail. It has blown the competition away with its test winning results and incredible top end speeds. For 2015 we have kept the short clew concept to maintain its excellent control, you can even fit the 8m on a 150cm - 210cm wave / freestyle boom. The new concave panel layout will have you flying past your friends on the water and into those gybes with maximum comfort and control. The 2015 Stitch does everything for you, just hook in, lean back and feel the acceleration. For a non cambered sail you won’t believe speed and stability delivered with such ease. Simply enjoy.

FACTS • A fast, early planing, test winning speed monster • Specially crafted tube battens keeps even the bigger sizes rock solid • Coloured mono film and x-ply luff panel keeps the sails profile in place throughout a large wind range • Folded back tack patching and silicon batten bumpers protects the stitching from grinding on your board and ground • Strap-on systems keeps your sail rolled up tight

MISSION


MISSION The Mission is a brand new twin cambered Free race sail to the Vandal range. We thought it was about time to extend our sail range and build on the incredibly fast Stitch. So, we thought we’d throw in a couple of cams and a new intelligent mast sleeve system to create an even faster racing machine. Firstly, the Mission is all about better wind ranges, earlier acceleration and speed. To deliver that we introduced a new intelligent mast sleeve concept… Starting from the top of the mast we have a narrow sleeve down to the first snap on camber that sits just above the boom. Right here we opened up the mast sleeve to give a deeper more powerful profile giving you all the acceleration and top end speed you can handle. Secondly, we didn’t want to have all this power without it being comfortable and easy to use. So by having the narrow sleeve in the upper body of the sail and the powerful profile at the centre of the sail, we have created a lightweight stable feeling in the hand, perfect for going fast and laying into gybes.

FACTS • • • •

An incredibly fast twin cambered race sail Deep profile for early planing and acceleration Easy for water starting with the introduction of cams Folded back tack patching and silicon batten bumpers protects the stitching from grinding on your board and ground • Strap-on systems keeps your sail rolled up tight • Did we say it was fast?
