these solutions at scale.’ For Foxall, the OSM range is a good example of the kind of shift that needs to take place within the industry. ‘Circularity of materials and resources is a key consideration when designing a new product. At 11th Hour Racing Team we are really encouraged by Musto’s consideration of “end of life” of this garment range. This ultimately sets the pathway for resource recovery, and for extended manufacturer responsibility such as take-back, refurbish and recycle systems.’
Ocean Race (formerly Volvo Ocean Race), which he won in 2011-12 with Groupama Racing Team, Foxall is a long-time advocate for the oceans, having worked as an education manager for the Canadian Wildlife Federation for five years before serving as the sustainability manager for Vestas 11th Hour Racing in the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.
Foxall explains his long-term goal: ‘Our task is to foster a team of leaders, explore innovative solutions within the marine industry as we design and build a boat for The Ocean Race, collaborate with our partners and the marine supply chain to reduce our environmental footprints, and leave a lasting legacy by inspiring others to make changes. We are promoting a shift to a sustainable marine industry. ‘One topic that has gained awareness worldwide are the impacts and issues around single- use plastics. Solutions and alternatives appear on the market practically every week, local and national governments are setting strong policies with varying degrees of success, we need companies and consumers to continue to build strong demand for alternatives to single use plastics and to implement

designed and built with a strong focus on sustain- ability and circularity of materials and resources. The same principles inform and guide its partnership with Musto Above: Made entirely from one single material, the OSM range is designed to be much easier to recycle
Charlie Enright and Mark Towill — co-founders of 1 Degree, the company the pair formed earlier this year to manage 11th Hour Racing Team — have made sustainability and ocean health key pillars of their campaign in The Ocean Race and the other competitive projects on their schedule.
‘As life-long sailors, the members of 11th Hour Racing Team are committed to being advocates for the ocean and lead by example in all aspects of our campaign, keeping the health of our oceans at the forefront of our decision-making process while promoting positive systemic change,’ says Enright. ‘We want people to be passionate about the ocean, to understand the benefits that it brings to all of us and the enjoyment that can be had from it and how together we need to look after it for this and future generations.’
‘Individually we can only do so much, however; working collectively is the way that we can really drive forward change. At 11th Hour Racing Team we are looking to drive forward and inspire change within the marine industry and beyond, and to get people passionate and inspired about ocean health. We enjoy working with industry-leading partners like Musto who are
changing the way they approach design and manufacturing to create products that are more sustainable.’ ‘I really like the fact that the OSM range is made with end of life in mind. It’s cool to see that as a sailing team we have inspired change in one of our partners.’
The OSM range is very
comprehensive, with T-shirts and sweatshirts through to weather- resistant outerwear such as the Evolution Newport OSM PrimaLoft Parka. ‘Engineered to be functional enough to protect you from the elements,’ says Houchin. ‘It’s designed to look at home on the shore for day-to-day living, walking the dog and embracing the outdoors; even leisure cruising, although you're not going to wear it across the Southern Ocean! That leisure market is a really big growth area for Musto. We’re really excited that Harrods in London is stocking the OSM range. OSM is an extension of our sailing range, learning from the expertise we constantly develop to protect our sailors on and off the water and we're very excited about how this will be received in the sailing community and in the wider leisure market as well.’

‘My favourite piece from the collection is probably the Evolution Newport OSM PrimaLoft Parka. It’s great for those cold winter days when I’m with my family, back in Rhode Island,’ says Charlie Enright. Constructed with Musto’s BR2 performance technology and PrimaLoft Silver Eco insulation – 100 per cent recycled polyester – this jacket delivers on Musto’s commitment to using the best ossible fabric technologies without compromising on sustainability or style.
