Actually 5 new machines arriving but only one will take attention away from the F16's. So far about 4 F16 pilots are waiting to see what the big deal is too. Soon as we open the box, will let you know for sure...
Maybe Singapore's heading for the 'fastest thing on water'! Volvo Ocean Race is here in 6 weeks with a showing of the Extreme 40 cats. Once the wind hits (late December) things are really going to get busy.
Moths are a challenge and fantastic to see flying... and do require skill/fitness.
cheers
Good to see you guys haven't lost your sense of humour!!
Of course its not photoshop.
It's just one huge Blade!
Actually both photos were taken pre-start as everyone was trying to sail AWAY from the start line due to the out going tide, which was extra big that day.
It could also be one of the last photos of F16 sailing in Singapore cos' when the Singapore Moth's come to our Club... it could change the face of sailing - we think we're light at about 120kgs - try the Moth! Fully armed it weighs about the equivalent of 1 F16 hull alone! An awesome machine no doubt about that. I think we have to realise that foiling is the future and it's here.
We're also opening the crate on another 'machine' that will also give the F16's a BIG run for their money here. Stay tuned, for the probable demise of the F16 Fleet here...
It's certainly going to be a good racing season here, that's for sure!
OK, I'll bite, what is the new machine?
Moths are a real challange to sail; I'm not good enough!
