Musto Skiff Worlds - 28 Musto Skiffs packed for Worlds in Australia

by Musto Performance Skiff on 4 Nov 2010 After many months (years even) of planning the first non-European Musto Skiff World Championships to be held in Australia is looming closer.

Whilst all the guys in the Souther hemisphere are busy organising the event and getting out training after their 'winter' the guys in Europe are coming to the end of the season and packing their boats away for the long trip down under.

This being the classes first non-European Worlds there are many things to learn such as the logistics of how to organise and pack a container of boats ... so ...

Q1: How do you get 14 Musto Skiffs in a container?
A: 7 in the front & 7 in the back :-)

Q2: What about the 14 launching trolleys?
A: No problem – 4 in the front and……Oh……F…..

Well, after 4 hours of toil, it all fitted in – 14 boats & trolleys & masts & sails, & 2 bikes, & copious equipment.

Thanks to Ovington Boats and particularly to Peter for being able to fit a pint into a quart pot.

Hope it is all intact when it arrives at Black Rock, Australia in a couple of months.......

And what are the chances of us being able to re-pack it all after the event – without Peter?
Never mind that for now- WE ARE ON OUR WAY!

The photos below show the packing of the Northern Container packed at Ovington Boats yard ... the Southern team also packed a container at Eastleigh.
