What about a foiling 600?

Does anyone have any pics of Lintons project in action?

Sound very strange an ausie wanting to buy a relatively cheep entry level (no offence intended) moth with the supply of second hand boats over there...

I've heard tales of about £600 for a container. Your best bet might be to contact the 18 footers and see if anyone is going out to Aus for the new season. You could probably squeeze your boat in with theirs. But cash the guys cheque first!

Contact the Contender Class Assoc, they have one or possibly 2 containers going to Perth for our worlds in Jan next year. They were trying to fill the 2nd container the last I heard.

The container(s) are leaving in about 4 weeks. (I don't know exactly as I am not going.)

if there are lots of you going, get a TEU (short 20ft container) and stuff it
with as many Moths as you can. Probably much cheaper per person.

Or get a shipping sponsor to sponsor a UK team

Tanzacat includes free shipping of cats to Tanzania (i think) and Aruba Cat
event price includes shipping and is pretty reasonable.

sponsors are the way to go, but probably difficult if you are on your own

If your wings are detachable then it will probibly be pretty cheep, theres a pic, (I think it was on the fastacraft website but I can find it right now) that youve probibly seen of a moth in bits in a box not much bigger than the bare hull.

On the other hand, if your wings are perminantly atached your going to be paying for a crate many times bigger and you usualy pay by volume I think.

You could always stuff the spare space with beanie babies and try to flog them at extortionate prices at the other end to try and recoup some of your costs
