The Musto Skiff is 15 feet long (4.55 m) and a lightweight skiff at 176 lb (80 kg) all up. The Musto Skiff can reach speeds of over 20 knots, making it one of the fastest single-handed sailing dinghies in the world.
Features include an asymmetric spinnaker, wings and racks. As with all skiffs, the deck layout is extremely simple, allowing the helm to concentrate on boat speed and not falling over the rope systems. Double-ended control lines are led to the racks so the sail can be adjusted while on the wire with ease.
The Musto Skiff was designed by Joachim Harpprecht for the 2000 Olympic Class Trials in Quiberon, France and won every race in the singlehanded dinghy competition. In 2006, this sensational monohull was granted ISAF Recognised Status by the ISAF Council. Today, up to seven nations compete in events held throughout Europe and the UK.
In this article we look at the Harken blocks which can be used on the Musto Skiff to give you a competitive edge on the water.
Below is a diagram which shows all of the Harken block part numbers for the Musto Skiff. All of these are in stock and available at Dinghy Rope.

A chandlery was the only place I could think where to get this. It's actually the strengthen the post for our washing line the steel wire (hoops both ends fitting diagonally from top of clothes post to base of another post 2 meters away supporting trellis between. The length of steel wire will soon disappear in the foliage & should provide addition structural support for many years.
Service was excellent with the length being ready before the expected date.
Worn these for a few races now and they have been excellent. Really high performing. They are grippy and super supportive even without using the zhik toe straps. I’ve raved about them so much that my crew and colleagues at the club have now also bought the same ones
Ordered this when my son's training sail got rippd in action. Pleased to find it here 20% cheaper than anywhere else and as always delivered correctly and in great time. Thankyou
The bag is well made and large enough for halyards as well as other items. I have used the 3M fixings but these are not really adequate and so the bags will need to be screwed in place.
I would buy again.
Delivery was on time. The O rings fitted the hatches on my topper topaz. No issues excellent service
I ordered the hiking pads for my son who was very pleased with them. The order was delivered within a few days. I’ve ordered items before from sailing chandlery and have not been disappointed with the service I received. Thank you
Loads of space in this bag for all of my kit, extra pockets are very helpful and the compartment inside keeps my dry and wet kit apart. Would recommend.
Not actually for a Topper but for a sailing canoe I have built. Pleased with the quality, delivered promptly, just the job thank you!
I’m using this with the Clamcleat CL211 and they pair perfectly. Strong and with the stiffness that I was looking for. Really pleased with the purchase and excellent quick service.
These work fantastically. Used with 6mm rope they grip instantly. Easy to adjust in small amounts and lock in with no effort at all. I was concerned that when the pressure comes off that the rope would release, but this isn’t the case at all. Really pleased with the purchase and rapid delivery.
Just what we needed, bought a second hand Topper, needed new ropes, sorted..Fitting instructions could be clearer for novices.
Very speedy delivery, and the special short length is just what I ordered. Ordering couldn’t have been simpler. Excellent service.
Harken block
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
