Musto has signed Olympic Gold Medallist, Dylan Fletcher, to its roster supporting the world's very best sailors: #TeamMusto. The Olympian and 2022 Moth World Champion will become an ambassador for the performance clothing brand, with a specific focus on his Moth campaign.
Fletcher is one of the UK's most in demand sailors, and will be seen competing in the Moth World Championships (7-13 July) in Italy and the Moth UK National Championships (4-7 September) this season.
"Musto currently supports an incredibly diverse roster of Ambassadors in the offshore world as well as officially partnering the British Sailing Team and the international federation for the sport, World Sailing," said Musto Marketing Director, Nick Houchin. "To add Dylan to this #TeamMusto line-up is incredibly exciting for us especially as he is one of the most dominant athletes on the Moth circuit today. One of the key aspects of our Ambassador programme is product development. Dylan is already testing and providing feedback on our new LPX kit coming out next year. We hope the Musto kit we provide will help his performance on and off the water."
Musto will be providing Dylan with a variety of kit including the high performance Flexlite Vapour 1.0 Hikers, designed for warm water dinghy sailing, developed thanks to valuable feedback from the British Sailing Team; and the Flexlite Cooling Long John, the smooth 4-way stretch fabric has an actively cooling finish that keeps body temperature regulated during even the most active sailing manoeuvres. LPX Cooling UV Short Sleeve T-Shirt and LPX Impact Buoyancy Aid complete the racing kit alongside a range of caps - Fast Dry, Evo Race and Trucker - to keep the heat off at the championship events this summer.
"Having worked with Musto through the Tokyo 2020 cycle where we won Gold, I have seen firsthand how committed they are to producing performance driven kit for high performance boats," said Fletcher. "Their advancements with the latest LPX and Flexlite range have been game-changing, and it's a real privilege to now officially join the Musto ambassador team. I'm looking forward to pushing my limits even further."
Dylan won the Gold Medal at the Tokyo 2020 Games in the Men's 49er class and Gold again at the 2022 Moth World Championships in Argentina. He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to sailing.
