Rating Moth
If you punch in the moth numbers in the Texel rating calculator then you get a rating of 130 (=about the same as a Hobie 14); but of course this calculator assumes that the hull is fully in the water.
When converting the VYC rating to Texel you get 118 (= on a par with a Hobie 16)

Depending on LOCATION and also Sailor Skill.
PY rating (NOT SCHRS) is nywhere between 900 (slow) and 650 (Fast). For comparison
F18 is about 691, F16 is similar and the Tornado is 650.
Problem in the UK is that we have very few (if any) Tornado's that club race against the moth, and no really decent teams doing this limit club racing.
Is the Moth quicker than a Tornado around the course? No is Sub foiling for the Moth. Similr in ideal MOTH foiling conditions and when howling the T will win.
Still very good for an 8 foot boat!!!
