Musto Renews British Sailing Partnership

Performance clothing brand Musto has renewed a long-standing association with the British Sailing Team.

The extended deal to serve as the official clothing supplier of the team, which is governed by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), will run for the next four years.

Musto first partnered with the team in 2009 before renewing its partnership in 2017.

The team, which was instrumental in developing Musto’s new spring/summer 2022 dinghy collection, supports nearly 60 elite sailors.

In addition, leading British pro kiteboarder Tom Court has been announced as Musto’s ‘Lifestyle Ambassador’.

Nick Houchin, Musto’s Head of Marketing, said, “The four-year partnership enables us to build upon our close relationship with the team, working directly with the sailors in the development of our high-performance dinghy sailing gear.

“We are engaging with the global sailing community from grassroots to Olympic level through our partnership with the international federation, World Sailing, and Musto’s support of the British Sailing Team is our commitment to inspiring current and future Olympic hopefuls on a national level.”

Musto’s Olympic heritage can be traced all the way back to the 1964 Olympic Games when Founder Keith Musto won the silver medal in the Flying Dutchman class.

Ian Walker MBE, the RYA’s Director of Racing, added, “Musto is the ‘go to’ brand globally across all types of sailing, from high performance to recreational, dinghy to offshore. 

“Musto’s peerless knowledge and expertise will be invaluable as the British Sailing Team seek to further their dominance in Olympic-class sailing.”
