Moth Worlds 2015: Day 2 Wrap-up Video
As Arno Terra pointed me out today, super developed airborne control for the Moths is still not avoiding hard pitchs. We’ll see where A-Class development reachs regarding control, in the meantime and before full foiling, winglets already added safer rides in +18-20knots.
I need to check pre Hurricane wind race ranges again from Isla Morada A Worlds 2012.
With current A flying devel pre Z boards from Dna/Exploder foiling is still lateral unstable and pretty safe on digging the bow on the simple fact 4 foils are lifting you/bow up.
But I still have to gather feedback on latest foils devel and if frontal pitchs were reduced even further.
Some local guys in Arg are forming a Moth fleet, the feedback I got from them today is that Moths are tough and can stand capsizes without much or any breaking equipment.
Photo above: Franco Greggi who is leading the pack and organizing the fleet and Yago Lange today at Mar del Plata training for a first event with 4 boats. Yago is already competing against Burling & Outteridge in the 49er Olympic fleetwith his brother Klaus, he is starting to sail As, and now Moths, lets see if the kid can follow these two monster sailors career…
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
