Musto Australasia, international leader in yachting competition and casual clothing, announced today that they are leading the sponsorships of the 12th Etchells Australian Winter Championship. The competition is conducted annually at Moolooba June 5-9, 2008.
The partnership of Musto and Etchells class is an important step in the development of the Musto brand in Australia.
Duncan Curnow, Musto’s Australian managing director, says that Musto brand has been seen as servicing the grand prix and offshore sailors. He adds that Musto is very excited being associated with the winter championship as this will be a great opportunity to market to a broader range of sailors.
The Etchells Australian Winter Championship yearly attracts most of the best one-design class sailors in Australia and New Zealand to Queensland’s Sunshine for the seven-race series.
Iain Murray, John Bertrand, Cameron Miles, Colin Beashel, Rob Brown, Skip Lissiman and Russell Coutts belong to the previous event winners and place-getters.
America’s Cup, world champions, Olympic-class sailors, and Etchells fleet members see the events as the perfect chance to pit their skills that grow every year. The event attracted 52 entries this year.
The class in Australia, which is now in its 41st year, has 16 fleets competing regularly.
