The Musto Skiff Class Association (MSCA) has launched its 19th Annual Survey, inviting all its class
members and the wider sailing community to share feedback on the current and future activities of
the class.
The survey is free to participate in and is open to current Musto Skiff boat owners, as well as sailors
from other classes who are keen to share feedback with the class association on areas such as how
the class can attract new sailors and what is stopping others from sailing a Musto Skiff.
The survey also includes a class member only section, which will act as an online International AGM
for the election of committee members and for gathering class member votes on international class
matters. This year's AGM will include the opportunity to submit a preference on the timeline to vote
for a potential new mainsail design.
After class members voted to put the new mainsail project on hold in 2017, the project was
restarted in February 2021 following a class vote to take advantage of the latest sail technology to
explore whether the current mainsail would benefit from a new design. A prototype for
consideration was subsequently developed by Hyde Sails in partnership with Ovington Boats.
The
vote on whether or not to adopt this new mainsail design will either take place in early or late 2023,
depending on the majority preference on when to hold the vote. The latest status on this project can
be found on the class website.
Whether you own a Musto Skiff, or you are simply a sailor that is interested in the class, all are
encouraged to participate and share what they want to see from the class in 2023 and beyond.
The 2022 Annual Class Survey is now live and typically takes around 10 - 15 minutes to complete,
including the member's AGM section.
Please participate in the survey now. The survey will close at 9pm (GMT) on Sunday 8th January 2023.
Following the close of the survey, a report with key highlights will be shared with the public.
