Boat Plans Uk | 2015 Classic Moth Nationals

Boat Plans Uk


The 2015 Classic Moth Nationals at E-City this past weekend had two glorious sunny days with winds mostly under ten knots. Jamey Rabbit repeated as National Champ with an even more dominating performance than he had last year. As usual, the Gen II Mistral or modified Mistral designs filled the top four positions. Rod Mincher returned to the Nationals after a several year layoff to take the Gen I division in his Maser. Gary Gowans, who won Gen I last year, copped another victory this year, in the Vintage division.

The fleet was split almost evenly among the divisions with 6 Gen II, 5 Gen I, and 6 Vintage to make a total of 17 Classic Moths.

I was able to wander around and take some yard shots of a few of the Classic Moth fraternity/sorority.

Usually the Classic Moth Greybeard Society doesnt have a quorum at the Nationals but this year they did. Dan Mallott, Gary Gowans, and Jahn.


Bill Boyle, who was the lead builder on the Tweezer project, has built or restored a bunch of Classic Moths. Here he is with his restored Ventnor.


Joe Courter, who puts on the great pre-race party at the Brigantine Regatta, got the Old Goat award (hes well into his 70s).


National Champion for the second year in a row, Jamey Rabbit,


John Zsecleczky finished third overall.


Mike Parsons finished second overall.

Boat Plans Australia | Put the board down! No! Sideways! No! Way Forward!

Boat Plans Australia


On my Classic Moth, I put the daggerboard down when going upwind, pull it up offwind. I might pull it up slightly going upwind in a breeze, but thats not very precise, just a yank before I go upwind. Sometimes in my dotage, Ive completely blanked and forgotten to pull the board up until Im half-way down the leeward leg.

Contrast that with the professional sailors, technologists, and builders on Team Groupama C-class catamaran (who just won the 2015 Little Cup, the Cup formerly known as the Little Americas Cup). Groupama have so finely honed their foiling on their 2015 model C-class catamaran, competitors figure they now have a two year technology edge on the competition.

A very basic primer on how to control the foils on Groupama. There will be a quiz at the end of class. There will be bonus points if you can explain the function of the wooden wedge in the operation of these foils.
