Anyone want to organise a regatta?
I’ve got this great idea for an event… I just have no idea
if/how/when/why to get it off the ground.
I couldn’t help but think of Mothing as I was running around the
harbour front this afternoon… wouldn’t it be an awesome regatta
to have in front of the opera house and botanic gardens, right in
the bay between the opera house and mrs macquarie’s chair, at lunch
time, in summer, with a fleet of 6+ foiling moths! Big screen, on
board cameras, commentator. 3 races during lunch time for a
week.
The number of corporate types who are there every day is pretty
awesome… the exposure would be huge.
Not sure what it would be for, but it would be good entertainment
and good exposure - would it ever happen? Probably not without a
lot of organising effort…. Oh well.
Any suggestions?
Maybe we should substitute that for the Moth involvement in SIRS
this December?
Update #1: Rohan is keen. We’re looking at a series of 3 events
including this one, one in January in Melbourne’s Docklands when
the VO70s are in town, and another at Skandia Geelong week. Looking
for diy footage from headcams etc, composed after racing and
released over the web instead of through the conventional media.
Low budget, low overheads, unconventional - that’s Moths for
you!
