UK Dinghy Exhibition - 6-7th March 2005

Once again the Dinghy Show was a great opportunity for the Musto Skiff Class Association members who staffed the stand to spread the gospel according to the MPS. Thanks to all those who took the time to stop by our stand and give us the opportunity to tell you about a boat and sport that gives us all so much pleasure.

The stand was busy with people of all shapes and sizes visiting the stand showing a great deal of interest in the boat. It was particularly good to speak to so many visitors from overseas (Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Croatia, Spain, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Slovenia). The reputation of the class is spreading around the globe and we hope some of those who took the time to visit our stand will become class members.

The stand was staffed by Paul Manning, Paul Clarke, Danny Clark, Rick Perkins, Richard and Kit Stenhouse (unless they were busy vouge'ing), Tim and Ant Chapman, Simon Reynolds and Graeme Oliver.

We were also assisted by Mateo from the Spanish fleet, that was particularly useful when a Spanish visitor stepped up to the stand.

There was one Musto #1 shirt left over in white which is being used for a prize in the Ovington Boats caption composition >>>
