Sponsorships continue to make a vital contribution to Musto's success.

We are proud to associate ourselves with top athletes, grass roots organisations and key membership associations. Their contribution at all stages of the product development process is invaluable – testing our product to extremes.

We take our relationships with our sponsored athletes very seriously and are constantly supporting them to perform at their very best through the product we offer.

Below we’ve detailed a few of the sailors, riders, shooters and organisations that help us develop, promote and wear our products.

The Sailing Team

Musto is proud to support many of the world's most successful sailors through a wide range of sponsorships from grass roots sailing in the International Optimist Class to the big offshore adventures such as the Vendée Globe and Volvo Ocean Race. In 2009, the maxi-trimaran Banque Populaire smashed the North Atlantic record- all wearing Musto gear!

Musto has also had a long relationship with Ellen MacArthur since setting off on her first voyage at 17 years of age, to her current exploits with the Offshore Challenges Sailing Team- including the accolade of becoming the fasters solo sailor around the world in 2005 aboard the trimaran B&Q.  We have now extended this support to The Ellen MacArthur Trust inspiring young people's recovery of cancer through organised sailing voyages.

In 2009 Musto signed a 4 year deal to become the official performance clothing supplier to Skandia Team GBR, the most successful British Sailing Team ever in the Olympic and Paralympic classes.  We were also pleased to announce the sponsorship of the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) the venue for the sailing events for the London 2012 Olympic Games. 

When it comes to cutting-edge performance, the new Vestas Sailrocket will launch in the UK summer 2010 and all at Musto will be watching intently to see the world speed record broken.

Also worth celebrating- the high performance sailing dinghy, the Musto Performance Skiff has grown from strength to strength and this year will celebrate its 10th Anniversary with a limited edition ‘platinum' boat.

The Equestrian Team

Musto is proud to sponsor World No1 event rider William Fox-Pitt. William has had numerous four-star victories during his career most notably during 2008 with wins at Luhmuhlen and Burghley to add to his team bronze in Beijing.

William's Olympic team mate, Kristina Cook has been supported by Musto for a number of years. In 2008 she had a fairy tale year coming off the reserve bench to clinch Olympic individual and team bronze with Miner’s Frolic.

Matthew Wright is a determined rider and one to watch for the future. He was a member of the team silver winning team at the Young Rider level and is a member of British Eventing’s World Class Programme, with horses competing at novice through to four-star.

All of our riders are focused on national and international four-star events for 2009 plus selection for the Eventing European Championships in September.

The Shooting Team

Musto and the world renowned West London Shooting School (WLSS) have been working closely together for almost 10 years on product development. Their instructors have proved to be the perfect test team – out in all weathers and each teaching over 300 days a year.
