BRAND AMBASSADORS

Meet our Musto Skiff class brand ambassadors

In partnership with our Title Class Sponsor, Musto, we launched the Musto Skiff Class and Musto Brand Ambassador Programme in 2022.

Each season, our top youth and established / high profile sailors help us to positively promote both the class and the Musto brand in their region and internationally.

We aim to select new brand ambassadors each season, so if you are interested to find out more about what is involved and put yourself, or another Musto Skiff sailor, forward for the role, get in touch with us at commsREMOVE@REMOVEmustoskiff.com
