Not quite getting back to it
A bit of a delay in the return to regular programming with a wet wetsuit in my fibreglass box causing the quarantine of my boat. I won’t do that again.
Hopefully it clears this week and I can get back onto the water again.
In the meantime, the boat has been sold and a new one is on the way. Another Mach2 for our club. Plenty of interest in boats, with a bit of new blood wanting to join in the fun.
There’s also been plenty of interest in replicating the slalom event concept that Rohan pushed in Geelong, and the class held again at the Gorge. There’s a similar event penciled in for the Nationals in Perth, and 3 different groups pitching to run an event in Sydney later in the year. If even one of them comes off it could be awesome for the class and the sport… If we can get some nice media coverage. Hopefully.
Anyway. Cock of the Harbour marathon race this weekend will see a few Moths pitted against some 49ers, i14s and maybe 18s. No idea what the record is, but if the conditions are right we should give it a nudge.

@FIGJAM
I’m surprised your box made it that far!

perhaps that is why it is still in Luxemburg, boxless!

“the boat has been sold and a new one is on the way” – Geez mate. How many moths is that?! no wonder you don’t give them names…….
Meanwhile, Sector is staring down the beginning of her 10th season. Might be time to start directing some money away from house/family and put her put out to pasture. How far away is the Belmont Worlds?………

The new one is #8. I hardly get to know the poor things before I give them away. No point in naming them.
