Moth Worlds

I suspect wages afford a £30k dinghy with a global circuit taking in the Far East, Australia, the Americas and the prime European hotspots at a regular rotation.... I guess it kind of helps that pro sailors can push these costs above their taxable income lines, and honestly, good luck to them - mixing talent with training and hard work to fund a lifestyle is not to be scoffed at on the Internet.    But I would struggle to feel any kind of sympathy for encountering the routine skunkings the rest of us are susceptible too.... that's sailing unfortunately.

I'm not sure they are on six figures... is that pure speculation or have I missed something? of course its good pay to go sailing

To be fair to the Moths, it's not usually wind strength but sea state that stops them. So an enclosed venue like Bermuda sound should be good for the class (ignoring the logistics of getting there).

But it is the nature of the game, the only way to mitigate is to choose somewhere like Garda where tie wind is more predictable. We need wind to sail, but not too much or (in the case of foilers) too little.
