Race Report Stone Sailing Club Open 2015 : (GBR)
Arriving bright and breezy at  Stone Sailing Club we were welcomed by the ever present Neil Fulcher and his excellent team but unfortunately the breezy bit was too breezy, often over 30knots, so the fleet set to a bit of bimbling and socialising with newbie to the class Jack Grogan in his new boat being the centre of attention and getting a free helping hand to set his boat up.  After a long postponement the wind still wasn't dropping that much, so Neil made the wise decision to cancel racing for the day and go for 5 shorter races in what looked like a great Sunday forecast.

Musto Performance
Skiff Stokes Bay Open Report 25 - 26 April 2015: (GBR)
 With weather forecasts as random as Ronnie O’Sullivan’s recent behaviour 24 optimistic Musto Skiff sailors convened at Stokes Bay Sailing Club for their open on 25 – 26 April. The first race started in a light breeze from a Westerly direction with Mike Palfreman executing a timely port end flyer to cross the fleet and gain an early lead. Andy Rice led briefly at the windward mark before Palfreman regained the lead on the second beat and then pulled away to take a relatively comfortable win with Ben Schooling putting a cheeky move on Bruce Keen to sneak into second at the finish. The second race was most notable for Richard Pelly’s magnificent performance, perhaps most notably by his uncharactaristic excellent start. Once the difficult bit was out of the way he merrily sailed off with the bullet being chased (distantly) by fellow Stokes Bay members Keen and George Hand. With speculation rife from a hastily formed kangaroo court that Bruce’s new boat might never win a race the wind swung to the South and increased. Naturally Keen was never headed and followed home by newcomer Dan Kilsby who in turn was closely pursued by Schooling. Read more >>>
Report Skiffania Diessen Germany Ammersee lake 25./26.04.15 Mustoskiff
With Family my sailing time is limited. So I was very excited that my family accepted a sailing weekend at the lovely Bavarian Ammersee lake southwest of Munich.
I made a nice package of activities like steam boat riding, museum visits, visit a blacksmith for knives or have a look in a tin figure shop and museum. Due to not so good weather predictions I went on my own. No traffic on the German Autobahn, but the skippers meeting at 9 was still to early. The Club facilities of DSC gave easy room all the participating classes with 10*49er, 4*i14, 18 Moths and the 9 out of 11 Mustos. Read more >>>>

 The
French EuroCup event 2015 is on tracks! We
would be so happy to have an international fleet of MPS
sailors right there at Lac du Der as every year! It hasn't
changed: it's still a great resting place for families and
as enjoyable than previous years for sailors. The event
is now a big one with not less than 74 skiffs last year
attending on one start line. Coaching have always been part
of the concept between thursday and saturday morning, and
several GBR MPS performers have often been part of the coaching
team. Guess it will be the case this year... Central location
for all the European skiff sailors wanting to have true
international skiff racing and the real good atmosphere
it create. So, let's talk about planing the thing: Read

Club :Day 5 Report - Final Standings
Today it was the last day of the World Championships. We
already had a winner, so “It was on” for the rest of the
top 10. Our prediction of changes was wrong, the regatta
had already shown us the best sailors on the top. Marcus
and Thor kept their second and third position and will be
together with Jon Newman on the stage.

Club :Day 3 Report Big Wednesday, was
not as big as promised. You better call it Weak Wednesday.
What suposed to be a big day of wind, was a big day of waiting,
wind shifting, course changes and a lot marks where pulled
up and down. A big day for Jon Newman as well, he finished
two times in the first position and is confirming his grip
on the title.

Club :Day 2 Report The second day started
with discussions about the weather. There were 2 forecast,
one said it’s going to blow like a normal sea breeze, the
other said it wasn’t. In the end of the day, both were right.
It started with a +20 knots race, then a 9 knots race and
then about 15 knots rising to 20 in the end. So a good day
for the allround sailors. Ian Renilson from the UK seems
to be a good all-rounder, he improved from 10th place to
2nd overall. Jon Newman from Australia is still in the front
and Paul Dijkstra from the Netherlands has confirmed his
3th place.

5th Musto Performance Skiff Worlds at Mounts Bay Sailing
Club :Day 1 Report Flat water like promised,
not the big winds as some feared but still wind. Good conditions
for the sailors to start the Worlds. All boats were able
to compete and have fun. The wind was a bit shifty and around
8 to 12 knots. The brothers Newman did a pretty good job
and ended as first and second overall. With 5 boats from
Australia and 5 from overseas in the top 10, it’s going
to be interesting for the rest of the week. The day started
with almost no wind and about 40 (degrees) so really hot.
The race committee decided to put up AP for a while, waiting
for the sea breeze to come in. Liters of water went into
the sailors, as they were sweating while doing nothing.

 Australian
Nationals 2015 - Jon Newman Australian Champion again! The
day that started with no wind and ended with loads of wind.
This was the last day of the Australian Nationals. Current
Australian Champion Jon Newman is the winner again. A good
job done by the race committee today. The race committee
decided to sail on Melville Water West, because the World
Championship will be held there as well. So it started with
a chill-out session on shore. Waiting for the Tornados to
finish their racing and waiting for the sea breeze coming
in. So a good moment for the sailors to fix or clean their
boats and discuss tactics. Read

 Spannish
Fleet Development into 2015 (ESP) During
2014 the Spanish Musto Skiff fleet has grown in number of
boats and clubs. Before this year the only fleet of Musto
Skiffs in Spain owned by sailors was that of Club Nàutic
Arenal in Majorca. Owing to the enthusiasm and effort of
Justo Martínez the fleet from Arenal is currently
the largest one in Spain with eight boats. However, the
situation in the peninsular Spain before 2014 was quite
different with just a few isolated boats, most of them not
actively sailed or simply abandoned. A stroke of serendipity
made that two boats arrived almost simultaneously to Arenys
de Mar (20 nm NE of Barcelona) during the first months of
2014. read

 First
day of the Australian Nationals 2015 Fantastic
weather, flat water and wind building up during the day.
That where the ingredients for a fantastic first day out
on the water. There were a lot capsizes but also a lot of
flying downwind moments for the guys. Today was the first
day of the Australian Nationals, the warm up for the Worlds
starting on Monday. You could say it’s a training for the
guys, but they we’re all very serious about it. It was a
good day starting with about 15 knots of wind and the wind
was building up to about 20 knots gusting 25 sometimes.
