About Sam Davies
I’ve been sailing since 1992, since I was 16 years old. I’m truly passionate about Ocean Racing (it's what I do the most, after all) but also a bit of match-racing. Learn more about Sam Davies in our Five minutes with Sam Davies interview.

Why choose Musto?
Musto keeps me dry and comfortable, and enables me to perform offshore.
Tips for beginners
Make sure you are having fun! Prepare everything for all eventualities before you go offshore, so that you can concentrate on your sailing once you are out there. Surround yourself with people you trust on your first few long trips.
