I'm just currently finishing the rebuild of British Moth 533 - as for slow, how about 49er V's British Moth, but the Moth chooses the venue?!

Rupert if that was the challege then i would say that the british moth would choose a river therefore leaving the 49er with no hope of winning. Good Challenge |

Rupert my guess is the venue would be Chippenham and the 49er could be the new footbridge

British Moths have a very tall Merlin Rocket style main sail, on a waterline length of about 9 feet. On small water there are few boats that can beat them on handicap (on open water almost everything can, so it balances out, sort of) and you have to try hard to beat a well sailed one on the water even if in a much larger boat. They are quick to tack, and the tall rig gets up above the trees. I'd back a Firefly against one (having learned to sail in a Firefly on a river) but not much else. I'll be sailing mine mostly on the lake at Whitefriars, which is going to be somewhat more challenging, but could be good on a light wind evening race. I was thinking of the river at Chippenham, where it is so shallow I was running the Firefly aground with 1/2 board down... |
