Musto Skiff Gold Cup

No wind on first day but successful pre-event coaching

The Musto Performance Skiff Gold Cup has attracted 37 entries from 6 nations.

International coach Mark Rushall has organised a 3 day training camp prior to the racing. Most of his time was spent with sailors new to the class, helping with sailing technique and boat handling skills. The remainder of the training camp was spent one on one coaching of the more experienced sailors. Even Olympic medal winning sailor Simon Hiscocks was keeping a close eye on proceedings for any top tips, as he too is new to the class. This has been a great success, and the class would like to thank Mark for his help, on what will become a regular feature of the classes major regattas.

The weather was superb for coaching, however, day 1 of racing has been abandoned due to inconsistent breeze. The only winner being Kevin Anderson who won this seasons Hyde sponsored mainsail prize.

Racing is scheduled through to Sunday.
