First owner of Mr Chips (N1349) was Keith Musto who went on with Tony Morgan to win an Olympic silver medal in the Flying Dutchman class at Tokyo in 1964. Keith's strategy was to sail round the course safely, letting the others make the mistakes and be overtaken. He also founded the sailing clothing company that bears hs name.
