ARMIN STROM launches special model at Act 3 of the Extreme 40 series in Istanbul
It is considered to be the best supported and most
dynamic sailing series in the world: the Extreme Sailing Series- fast,
thrilling, spectacular. To coincide with the third leg, which took place
in Istanbul from June 7th to the 10th, 2012, ARMIN STROM, sponsor of
the GAC Pindar Sailing Team, launched a special limited edition of 40
pieces – matching the lines of the slim, racy similarly structured
catamarans (40 foot).
The Armin Strom GAC catamaran winning the Bosphorus race by a clear
margin Innovation, perfection, precision – values, which ARMIN STROM
stands for and without which an Extreme 40 race cannot be won.
The “ARMIN Manual Water - Special Edition GAC Pindar Sailing Team” was
presented in the presence of Ian Williams, ARMIN STROM Brand Ambassador
and GAC Pindar skipper, on the roof terrace of the ARMADA Hotel at an
exclusive party with selected guests and clients. Earlier, just in front
of the Istanbul shoreline, the crew of the experienced match-racer had
thrilled spectators with speeds of over 40 knots (around 46Miles/hr) and
some exciting manoeuvres.
As usual, the manufacture movement of the “ARMIN Manual Water – Special
Edition GAC Pindar Sailing Team” is assembled to the highest handcraft
standards. The element of water is depicted symbolically as waves
hand-engraved on the gear train bridge. A special feature is its navy
blue calfskin strap, stitched with the original canvas from the GAC
Pindar catamaran, emphasizing the maritime and dynamic spirit.
The 120-hour power reserve of the “ARMIN Manual Water – Special Edition GAC Pindar Sailing Team” is enough for longer voyages. During calmer moments, the mechanical hand-wound movement can be admired through the anti-reflective, sapphire crystal case back. Or for diving purposes, the 43.5mm diameter, high-grade, steel case is water resistant to 50 meters.
