Musto Skiffs at RYA Volvo Dinghy Show 2012

3-4 March 2012
Our class stand was well attended over the weekend, with helpers Tim Chapman, Chris Henderson, Dave Poston and Ben Schooling ably supported by UK class chairman Jon Simpson, class marketing man Rick Perkins and international secretary Paul Manning being kept busy by interested sailors and class members popping in for a chat from as far afield as Norway!
The new class demo boat was on the stand and loads of kids were helping themselves to the car stickers, no doubt to put on their parents cars as a reminder of what they want when they grow up. We also had a number of sailors who have requested a demo, and we’ll be hoping to get them out as soon as is convenient!
We also gave away via our Facebook & Twitter feeds 50 hoodies & T shirts.
The Ovington Boats stand was pretty well mobbed on Saturday with our class revealing the 2012 World championship sponsors and event logo in conjunction with ACO as well as what was surely the most talked about boat of the show being the launch of the stunning “Aura” women’s skiff trials contender.
Thank you to all the help and happy 40th birthday to Chris Turner.
