Moths

As a British Moth sailor, I can safely say I was picturing a development class, rather than the ultimate treelined river one design! I'm sure 74 years of hull design development could be put to good use, or even the 46 years since the Europe was designed.

Following the International Moth taking to the skies and becoming an aeroplane, so moving it out of the reach of average sailors on small water, has the time come to re introduce the Moth roughly as it was pre unification, with a 5' max beam, a min waterline beam, 7m2 of sail and a light minimum weight? The Americans have kept the class alive, in a way, with the Classic Moths, but they seem more interested in recreating 1960's designs. I would picture something with a more modern rig and hull shape.
