In a possibly rash decision, Rob bought the $2 moth from me as a jumble of bits, after enjoying himself a bit much in a small boat last weekend. Today it is rigged and almost ready to go. Here it is :
Looks pretty good to me. I've spent the afternoon trying to convince him to take it for a spin tomorrow.
Did it work? I'll tell you tomorrow night, fingers crossed!
There's still a band of NZMoth enthusiasts around, I believe performance is about on par with the British Moth, and Australian Scow Moths. Of course, it wont keep pace with the new foilers, but not much will.
Keep up to date with what's going on around the Manukau Harbour, South Auckland, with all that matters to sailing enthusiasts. The Manukau is NZ's second largest harbour, very tidal, and houses five active sailing clubs. It is on the west coast, and there is at least one big multi-club invitational regatta each year. This site affiliated with Weymouth Yacht Club, which is on the fringe of Manukau City.
