According to the Musto Performance Skiff Class Association and Victor Boats the builders, the Velocitek 2007 Musto Skiff World Championship, which starts on 20 June, will be contested by 91 teams from 11 nations.

The event is being hosted by Fraglia Vela Malcesine, Lake Garda so the mixture of a huge fleet and great conditions look set to make a truly memorable event for all involved. The racing will be run on a single large course in just one fleet.

MPSCA Chairman Paul Clarke said: “Following on from the ISAF recognition of the class in 2006 we have been working towards our first official World Championships with great anticipation. We are delighted at the number of entries and this event will be a real landmark in the progression of the class.”

Event sponsor Velocitek will attend the event and will run daily debriefs showing the tracks of competitors as they round the course. As well as the usual points racing that will of course decide the World Championship there will also be a Vmax competition run by event sponsor Velocitek. Velocitek are offering an S10 unit as first prize.
