Musto to outfit National Sailing Academy’s Team

by Fast Track on 28 Feb 2009 Leading clothing manufacturer, Musto, will supply the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy’s Team with official sailing clothing.

The Musto Academy, inaugurated by the RYA, was set up to encourage, reward and support young sailors aspiring to represent Great Britain in the Olympic sailing classes.

Newest 2009 recruit to the ‘Musto Academy of Excellence’ is Elliot Hanson. Elliot already a Topper dinghy National Champion and now rocketing up the results board in the Laser 4.7 class is definitely one of the young generation to watch.
