Default The Moth

So Doug...do you think you could handle a Moth?


Not without a heck of a lot of practice

Think it's easier than a wind surfer?


No, I think it's probably a bit harder

Have you seen one underway?


The new foil-riders? No. The old unicycle ones? Yes.

Actually I have raced Moths but it was so long ago that the
hot boats were designed like scows.


Have you watched any of the videos?


Yes... very cool! Did you see the speed record for them is
26 knots?

OZ how much is 16,000 AUD?


About $43

Actually it would be $12,200, Aussie money has been going
strong lately. Shipping one from up there would be a bitch
though. There are a bunch of new Moths in the UK... ask
Donal to send you one.
