Borrowing a Musto Skiff EP2; Taming this High-Speed Sailing Boat!

In this episode I head back home to Portarlington Sailing Club for a Sunday club race and my first sail on the Musto Skiff, 4 weeks out from the Nationals. There are some exhilarating downwind rides and heaps of unexpected capsizes. Whether you're a sailing enthusiast or just love a good adventure, this video is packed with excitement and spills on the water. Don't miss out on the anticipation building up to the Nationals as I navigate the challenges of the Musto Skiff! Subscribe now for more sailing adventures and high-speed thrills!"
Thanks to ChatGPT for most of that video description. Leaving it as it is to see if it works better than the ones I write!

WOW, you handled that boat like a pro😎 jumping and flying down wind! Can't wait for the next video!

Thanks Harrison, not so much a pro, maybe a big person that was trapezing in the right spot for a little bit!

Solid effort for a first sail!

[@TomStuchberySailing-eg9vr]

Thanks Scott! Might have been a few capsizes that didn’t make it into the video 😉

Could you please give me your opinion.
So I’m watching this series again cause I’m looking at upgrading my 44yr old contender and can’t make up my mind between a newer contender and musto skiff or a paper tiger.
None of these boats are sailed at my local club they all sail the clubs pacers and they are to slow I won’t do it. They do sail contenders and paper tiger in South Australia but I don’t know of any musto skiff but that’s not a huge issue.
How hard was the musto to learn? Which would you go?
Thank you and keep up the great videos

Hi Jason, I sailed a contender for a little bit about 10 years ago, we also bought a paper tiger for about $400 when my fiancé was learning to sail years ago, which we still have. Since you’re already sailing on the wire you probably wont struggle too much with the Musto, but you'll swim a bit like i did. The paper tiger, like most cats, is easy to go fast, but since you can already trapeze you might be able to get a faster cat? If i lived in SA i'd get a Taipan 5.7 or Taipan 4.9 and do all the distance races in Goolwa/Milang against Tim Wright and those other guys.

@@TomStuchberySailing-eg9vr I was looking at a f16 cat rig that was for sale.

Even better! I sailed a viper a few times, that’s a great boat
