Musto joins Turn the Tide on Plastic

Musto announced as the official suppliers to Turn the Tide on Plastic.

In the video above Dee Caffari talks us through what an ocean racer really needs to have in their kit bag, with personal recommendations on how to achieve success from a top sailor.

Dee Caffari became the first woman to sail solo, non-stop around the world “the wrong way” in 2006. In 2009 she capitalised on that feat by completing the Vendee Globe and became the first woman to sail solo, non-stop around the world in both directions.

Caffari’s ambition also extends to the unique make up of her team, which will consist of a 50/50 male-female squad with the majority of them being under the age of 30. As well as competing in one of the toughest races on the planet, the mixed youth focussed team will be tackling the issue of ocean health by raising awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans.

Dee Caffari’s Turn the Tide on Plastic team have ambitions to make a difference both on and off the water.

Petra Carran, Head of Marketing “It’s an honour for Musto to be working with a sailor of Dee’s experience and professionalism. We wholeheartedly support Turn the Tide on Plastic‘s sustainability ambitions and have already been making significant changes to our standard business practices to ensure plastic usage is kept to an absolute minimum.

“We look forward to supporting Dee and her team throughout the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 and wish them every success as they cross the start line in October.”
