Gaastra and The Team part ways

Apparently it's official. Just found the announcement on the Gaastra website. Gotta say I don't understand Gaastra's logic in this. Having watched The Team at work at Kanaha for awhile now, I can't imagine a more-hardworking, methodical, professional team of sailors. It's very common to see Barry Spanier and Phil McGain, along with Matt and occasionally Kevin Pritchard tweaking and testing sails with engineering precision. They test what you and I might think are irrelevant little changes and take copious notes. They measure with GPS units on the water. Watch where The Team ends up next and keep an eye out for whatever sail line they get behind - it will be damned good.
