Life
Members
Life members are voted in by the class
association committee in recognition of their contribution
to the MPS Class.
 Joachim
Harpprecht; without Joachim there would be no
Musto Skiff; he had the vision to design a boat which
at the time most people considered unsailable. The original
concept was tested and developed to the final product
which is available to all and sailed by many the world
over. Thanks Joachim for designing such a great boat.

 Nigel
Musto; Nigel spotted Joachim's "crazy"
design at a boat show and was the catalyst for the class
bringing the designer together with Tim Tavinor and
Paul Manning from Victor Boats who assisted in the product
testing and design for manufacture. Nigel continues
to support the class through Musto Performance Clothing
Ltd. Read more

 Paul
Manning Paul
Manning has been elected through a 100% vote by
the MPSCA Committee as a Life Member of the MPSCA
in recognition of his contribution to the class.
Paul's day to day involvement in the class/business
has changed as a result of the sale of the project
by Victor Boats to Ovington Boats and this seems
a good time to recognise his contribution. Paul
has worked tirelessly for the class and it members
often going beyond the call of what many would
think as reasonable. For me the best example of
this was when Paul arrived at Garda after driving
for a whole day to hear that the boys from Newcastle
had suffered a big trailer breakdown somewhere
near Metz (a loooooong way from Garda). Without
any question Paul climed into the van with Tony
Ainsworth and drove to Metz; picked up the hung-over
Geordies and then drove to Garda; he was bit sleepy
on arrival ... This is just one of many tales
of Paul helping individuals; thanks Paul for all
your efforts and we are delighted you will still
be involved as the MPSCA secretary and through
the provision of regatta support under contract
to Ovingtons. More
