NEW MUSTO DINGHY
RANGE FOR 2006 - Available in March 2006
 Musto’s
experience of the dynamics prevailing in today’s most
popular dinghy classes has focussed the company’s development
team on a very competitively priced, new collection
of neoprene-based products and associated garments,
which are being showcased at METS 2005.
Not so much a label as a dynasty Musto
come to this area of clothing with unrivalled experience
since in the 1960s Keith Musto brought home a Silver
medal from the Tokyo Olympics – hence the Flying Dutchman
logo.
Currently, both son Nigel and grandson,
Ben, compete in Lasers. Nigel also campaigned a Farr
52 this year, while daughter, Anna, races an International
Optimist. Yes, the name is not so much a label as a
dynasty.
The company is also a keen supporter of
the international Optimist Class and the RYA Youth Training
programme.
“As a company, Musto are usually known
for premium performance products at premium prices,”
states Mike Todd, International Sales Director. “In
the case of the new Dinghy Range, we have sought to
make an offer at prices which will please the enthusiast
and provide realistic margins. In addition, we’re putting
some heavyweight marketing effort in place. As well
as international advertising, there will be a dedicated
catalogue, covering these and other dinghy products
from our range, a strong PR programme, POS and pride
of place on stands at all the major winter exhibitions
– Paris, London and Dusseldorf.”
 The
introductions comprise six new styles which complement
Musto’s very popular Dinghy Drysuit and Dinghy Smock
and Hi-Fits:
• Breathable Summer Wetsuit
• Breathable Hiking Pants
• Short Arm Wetsuit
• Shortie Wetsuit
• Short Arm Wetsuit FW
• Shortie Wetsuit FW
The Breathable Summer Wetsuit is available
in Black and Silver in sizes from Small to XXL. It features
3mm breathable ‘airflow’ neoprene, super-stretch panelling
for extra comfort and flat-lock seaming to reduce chafing
plus ‘glideskin’ arm cuffs, anti-abrasive seat, knee
and shins for durability.
Breathable Hiking Pants share a similar
spec but also feature external battens, so you can concentrate
on winning instead of the pain of hiking out. Also in
Black/Silver in a range of sizes from JS (Junior Small)
to XXL.
Short Arm Wetsuit and Shortie Wetsuit
are also in a 3mm neoprene with super-stretch panelling
for optimum flexibility. They both feature a smooth-skin
chest panel, flat-lock seams and ‘glideskin’ arm cuffs
(also leg cuffs on the Shortie) with anti-abrasive areas
to the seat, knees and shins. Both styles are Black/Silver
and available in 8 sizes from JS to XXL.
For the ladies and older girls
The Short Arm Wetsuit FW and Shortie Wetsuit FW complete
the Musto neoprene capsule and can be immediately identified
by the Black/Powder Blue colourway in a choice of sizes
from 8 to 16.
They are flatteringly cut with super-stretch
panelling for maximum movement and all the practical
features of the range are present including a unique
closure system with an easy-pull tab.
The associated Rash Vests have been designed
to suit every member of the sailing family – men, ladies,
boys and girls
The feminine theme is clearly demonstrated
by the printed floral panels on the Powder Blue, Pink
and Black colourways of the junior and adult Long and
Short Sleeved Vests.
In the ladies’ colours, sizes include
everything from JS to 16 and kids are also remembered
in the unisex range with sizes from JS to XXL.
The fabric that Musto have sourced for
the Rash Vests is 82% nylon / 8% Spandex made up with
contoured seams and stretch, flat-lock seaming.
So, comfort and easy care are assured
and the high neck style provides that vital, extra protection.
Musto’s Buoyancy Aids for all sizes have
been re-styled for 2006 and, of course, meet with international
specifications approved by the EC.
That other vital piece of safety
equipment – good footwear – has also been developed
by Musto as part of the new dinghy range with two new
styles of dinghy boot with moulded or razor cut soles
in two Junior and 5 adult sizes to XXL.
