The Storm Trysail Foundation is excited to announce that the Musto Company has generously offered to provide several headline auction items for the Foundation’s Fundraising and Awards dinner next Friday, April 13th at the Beach Point Club in Mamaroneck, NY.
Musto
Musto, the official apparel provider to the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, is donating at least one observer’s/on-board seat for the VO65 Pro-Am Race in Newport, RI on May 17th. If the first seat is sold for more than a pre-set price, a second seat will automatically be made available. In addition, Musto will also provide a new HPX smock – the exact same one as worn by the crews! - autographed by reigning Volvo Ocean Race winner Ian Walker, who skippered Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing to win the 2014-15 race.
