Sailors everywhere will know the Musto name, acclaimed for some of the best sailing clothing in the world. Competitors at the Regatta will know the brand as a long-term supporter of the event, and Cowes Week Ltd is absolutely delighted to announce today that Musto have renewed the relationship for a further five years as the Official Clothing Supplier.

The support of sponsors enables yachting events to take place and in making a long-term commitment to Cowes Week, Musto is investing in the hugely popular grassroots of the sport. Cowes Week welcomes 500 boats and nearly 4000 sailors every year and remains the biggest keelboat regatta in the world.

Laurence Mead, Regatta Director at Cowes Week said: "I have personally worn Musto, virtually all my life, and having the brand partner with Cowes Week in the long term is a wonderful level of confidence in the event. Musto is all about high-performance but the brand also recognise the need to support weekend warriors and we are delighted to continue working with them. It's also testament to the enduring appeal that Cowes Week has with sailors, both in the UK, Europe and indeed around the world."

Musto Head of Marketing, Nick Houchin said: "We're excited to continue our sponsorship of Cowes Week, a highlight of the British sailing calendar and one we're looking forward to supporting up to and including the 200th Anniversary regatta of 2026."

Look out for details of the official Cowes Week merchandise range by Musto which will be launched soon, as well as full details of the planned Cowes Week activities over the course of the next few months on the Cowes Week website.
