What are the Puma Moths? And does the sail on this moth look terrible or is it just me?
http://forums.sailingworld.com/photos/showfull.php?photo=1050I don't think our catamaran fleet is going to be replaced by the moth just yet. As cool as they are (and yes I do want one) how do you launch them off the beach in a 3 foot breaking swell?
The sails that come on the Bladerider moths are really crap in my opinion, so definitely agree with you there. Actually getting a whole new mast and sails, that's how bad! But the Moth guys reckon they are quite good which is strange. Having heavy burdensome cams, an outhaul that is next to useless is just part of my gripes. Kind of strange, the moth class has just concentrated on foils, but it is the sails that get you foiling.
But they aren't for everyone, especially when you beach launch.
And recently one of the top moth guys beat one of the top A-Cat guys in 3 out of 4 races. Saw a report on the Internet so must by true!
