Do you know the name of the tune? Is it something that he wrote? Thanks, J.

this is my favorite vid on youtube.......I used to sail Lasers in Highschool, now I'm building a foiler. (lasers are so slow now)

Dunno the top speed but ive known them to do 25 knots and that in sailing terms is phenominal second only to the 18 foot skiff and to be honest 18 foot skiff require bigger balls to sail ^_^

I don't know the max speed, however it is not any magic speed number that they are chasing as speed is largely dependent on the wind strength.Rather it is just so obvious how fast they are going compared to other boats that are sailing around on the bay.

whats the maximum speed (in knots) ?

Music is from Chris Duncan dot net, brilliant fiddler specializing in scottish folk / dance music. Based in Australia but travels as required. A real nice guy. This recording was taken some years ago, he is even better now.

they can be a wee bit unstable , but i still want one!

The Moth is very impressive for the speed it does get in average wind conditons in non specialized sailing spots. Many will point to formula for similar performance at half the price, but hauling a 10-12m sail can get tiring, and below 8 knots, they won't plane consistently. Maynard's record is fast, but he was reaching in a 40 knot wind to achieve it. A record that measured boat speed/windspeed ratio would be the best measure of design efficientcy. |
