GP Sails Training Sails – Built for Progress
At GP Sails, we believe that the right equipment makes all the difference when it comes to learning, improving, and pushing your limits on the water. That’s why we’ve been putting a huge amount of focus into developing our range of training sails—designed specifically to help sailors build confidence, refine technique, and maximise time on the water.
Designed for Learning, Built to Last
Training sails face a unique set of demands. They need to be durable enough to withstand the knocks of regular use, while still delivering the performance characteristics that allow sailors to develop proper skills.
Our training sails are built with:
- Reinforced construction for longevity
- Stable, forgiving profiles to support progression
- Balanced handling to help sailors focus on technique
Whether you’re just getting started or working on advanced boat handling, these sails are designed to make learning more effective—and more enjoyable.
Musto Skiff Training Kite – In Development
We’re also excited to share that we currently have two versions of a Musto Skiff training kite in development.
These kites are being carefully designed to:
- Offer improved control and stability for training environments
- Reduce the intimidation factor of high-performance asymmetric sailing
- Allow sailors to build confidence before stepping up to full race kites
Each version explores slightly different design approaches, and we’re putting both through rigorous testing to ensure we deliver the best possible product.
Tested by a Champion
To make sure we’re on the right track, we’ve enlisted the help of our friend Eddie Bridle, Musto Skiff National and European Champion, who is currently testing both prototypes.
Having someone of Eddie’s calibre involved means we’re getting top-level feedback on performance, handling, and usability. His input is proving invaluable as we refine the designs and push towards a final product that truly delivers for training sailors.
What’s Next?
We’re continuing to develop and refine both kite versions, with more updates coming soon as testing progresses. Our goal is simple: to create training sails that genuinely help sailors improve faster and sail better. Training sails don't have to be a compromise on performance, yet give you the advantage of saving your race sails for events.
