Moth Worlds 2016: Paul Goodison Champ
Images: Junichi Hirai / Bulkeahd magazine / Mothworlds.org – Great transition for Paul Goodison coming from the Laser camp to master the art of foiling and racing Moths or any other flying sailboat for that matter. His comments on the official web mothworlds.org/hayama/ : “If you are asking me which is more fun to sail with Laser (with which I won the gold Olympic medal) or International Moth, I would say Moth. Foiling boat attracts me very much since I can tune my race boat by sailing conditions. It is also great to race together with world top level sailors”, he added with a smile…”
3 British sailors on the podium. Rookie Argie Franco Greggi on a great debut finishing 13th overall. Franco is a former 29er crew World Champ and also had a go on the F18 and N17 in the past.
