Moth Worlds 2016 pre event: Japan Nats Day 1
Moth Japan Nats 2016 – Only one race held today due to lack of wind, Rob Gough is leading, followed by Scott Babbage & brand Funk. 3 crews from Arg traveled to japan with their Moths as luggage, I won’t be sailing a Moth any time soon over an A, but is having the ability to travel with your flying machine like being a ‘kite’ is without a doubt a point for the Moths.
Check the new bowsprit the class is using, now I get Dario Valenza / Carbonix new carbon part.

...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
