i have seen a tiger moth in a boat park in port edgar (edinburgh) and it looked pretty cool, although the owner did say everytime they went out they broke at least one thing.

I last saw the Tiger Moth out at Stonehaven a couple of years ago,  Have not heard anything about it since. It has a long narrow rounded bottom hull with wings, trapize, asymetric and was pretty light weight.

It needed quite a lot of work done to it and they were talking about putting a 4000 rig on it to replace the rather tired sails that it had

I think this is an old picture of it



Edited by Granite
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

My bad in that case... I know its in Paul Hignets garage being restored at the moment, I assumed that had been the case for a number of years and id not heard of it getting out and about.

His name was dave as far as i can remember, nice guy! lol. It looked like a pretty speedy piece of engineering, but it also looked very tired!!!! it seemed it was a boat that could have done with a bit more development to make it easier (and not so breakable ). I'm not sure there was a big enough market for that type of boat though, hence its downfall, reminds me of an M-X-Ray in that way. I would have one for a project though

I think what you mean to say is..... boats like the Tiger Moth and MX-Ray
were ahead of there time and the public wasn't ready for them.

It's a problem that ture blue sky thinking designers have from time to
time. They have to wait for everyone else to catch up.
