We talk to Nathan Outteridge as he steps ashore after winning the 2014 International Moth World Championships at Hayling Island Sailing Club.

YachtsandYachting.com: So Nathan, 2014 International Moth World Champion, your second Moth World title, how does it feel?

Nathan Outteridge: It was good, it's been a tough week, pretty light and marginal and today we finally got some good breeze and it was actually really fun racing, so happy we got some good racing and really happy to bring home another world title. I wasn't really expecting it after the training and prep that I've put in, but I think the years of sailing these boats has really helped me out throughout the week.

YachtsandYachting.com: You wrapped up the win in style in race 10, can you describe the feeling coming down towards the line?

Nathan: It had got a bit soft in that very last race and I actually fell off the foils at the top mark. Josh Mcknight and Chris Rashley gybed in a really good puff, and I managed to gybe, get foiling again and did about 15 gybes down in this one little puff, turned around half-way to see how I was going and no-one was foiling so it was a pretty nice way to finish, to have a really big lead.

YachtsandYachting.com: Your thoughts on the event overall and Hayling Island Sailing Club?

Nathan: The club's been great. I think we're very fortunate that we didn't get any big breeze from the South otherwise it would have been probably a very different event and different results. Given the weather we've had the race committee's done a good job of getting us out there early in the morning to get the racing in using the shifty land breeze, and I think that paid into my fortune as I quite like that sort of stuff.

YachtsandYachting.com: Huge congratulations, well deserved title, you've wrapped it up in style, well done.
