An update from class boat builder, Ovington Boats Ltd, regarding a recent update to the World Sailing Rules for the Musto Skiff class.
The latest update from the IMSCA on the long-term projects to explore potential design ideas for the mainsail and an additional smaller rig for the Musto Skiff.
This year’s MSCA Annual Class Survey includes an update on a project proposal to explore a new smaller sail for the Musto Skiff. Read on for an overview of this project – and don’t forget to take part in the survey to have your say on this! The survey closes at 9pm (GMT) on Monday 21st December 2020.
A couple of years ago, the class voted to explore a new mainsail design. A test sail was made and trialed. This sail was not considered to be a sufficient advance to warrant further consideration. The class voted to ‘pause’ the project and it was put on hold. The project will reopen in February 2021.
As a follow-up to the update given in November, we would like to clarify the position on the potential equipment developments.
It is some time since the Rigging Manual was updated. View the updated rigging guide for 2019.
