How it all started
Keith Musto arrived in Tokyo for the British Olympic sailing squad of 1964. Keith and his crew realised that their only chance of winning gold was to be fitter than their opponents. Every day they did fitness training while their fellow competitors derided their training as unsporting. Musto recalls, "We sailed in Guernsey sweaters and old flannel trousers for years. You got wet and you accepted it. He realised that this was a problem that needed to be solved.” So, after taking the sailing world by storm and winning silver in Tokyo, he set about producing ground-breaking technical sailing apparel.
An old WWII hut in Essex served as the beginning of everything. They started out making sails with Edward Hyde under Musto & Hyde Sails. But Musto soon shifted his focus to constructing technical sailing clothing. Then in 1980, Keith split from Musto & Hyde. His team quickly became the technical manufacturer and wholesaler of the best sailing kit available. Musto was born.
