Why choose Musto?
I chose Musto because they provide the best sailing kit. Comfortable and performance-focussed, I know that wearing Musto will mean that I’ll stay dry in the toughest conditions. It’s also important to know that I’ll be able to move with ease on the boat, because as great as it is being well protected from the sun and not too warm in sunny conditions, it’s also important that I have freedom to manoeuvre.

Future goal
My main goal is to sail the Solitaire URGO Le Figaro 2018, then continue on to the Figaro 3.
Tips for beginners
I would say make good choices when you start out: choose a boat that fits your needs, get a coach who puts you through your paces and train with a good structure, in a place that suits you. Your training partners are important, so choose them wisely and always give 100% to the project!
