That's the first time we had a Moth on our Wednesday race, and unfortunately our only active Tornado team was not on the water. They are good, they finished second at the last national if I remember correctly. And they usually lap everyone on our relatively short courses.
Hopefully, one of these days the two of them are going to be on the water at the same time with a decent amount of wind...
I have to concur with Pepin, the Mothie simply blitzed us last night, so much so I want one but being a biggie fat arsed sort of bloke, it aint going to be a Moth. Seriously though I was impressed with the speed and handling of the Moth, the upwind was not as much as a problem as I thought it would be for him, really dramatic to watch as he lapped me, the really deep starting angle ( speed ) and then the really arched curve onto the remainder of the tack ( building apparant wind ).
In the right wind conditions ( to be fair we couldn't really wire properly last night with about 8 knots to 12 knots at times wind ) the mothies are going to blitz some race records. I think with another year or two of development, they are going to pretty special.
