Musto to Title Sponsor Sailing’s 2013 Admiral’s Cup

The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club Cowes has announced today that Musto has become the title sponsor of the 2013 Musto Vice Admiral’s Cup.

Musto has been a sponsor partner of the event since its inception in 2005, and their decision to upgrade their role to title sponsor is a most welcome endorsement of the event’s successful growth. Now in its ninth year, the 2013 edition will be held between Friday 17th and Sunday 19th May.

“Musto is pleased to enhance its support to this highly competitive event on the British racing calendar. The Vice Admirals Cup is the perfect partner for Musto as we all know that the weather conditions in the Solent can be unpredictable! Musto offers a full selection of race-specific foul weather clothing to keep you warm, dry and comfortable without impeding your sporting performance.” – Nigel Musto, Musto Ltd

For 2013 this ever-popular regatta has extended its invitation list and will feature six different classes. Entries will be accepted from the 50-52 footers; 44-46′ series production boats (minimum 4 produced) with a maximum IRC rating of 1.240 and a max SPA of 181.5 sq meters; the J/111 Class; the J/109 Class; the Quarter Tonner Class; and the SB20 Class.

Racing will take place on two separate courses in the central Solent using a combination of laid windward leeward courses and more traditional Solent “round-the-cans” courses. Once again Race Officers Rob Lamb and Bob Milner will officiate, ensuring top quality racing for all.

Speaking for the Royal Corinthian, Rear Commodore Sailing Mike Till noted: “We at the RCYC are delighted to have the support of Musto as Title Sponsor of this, our most important event of the year. Their brand, which is now such a World Wide one, is of great value to us all at RCYC and we look forward to a great event in association with them. We are also delighted that competitor support of the event continues to grow each year and look forward to welcoming many familiar faces and new friends at this year’s regatta.”
