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

Wind surfing's a bitch, I think it looks easier myself.

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?

26.4 knots and smooth as glass and quiet!...I see lots of splicing on
the videos, I wonder how much film they needed to get the film they did
post.

OZ how much is 16,000 AUD?


About $43

Thats what I was thinking..

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.

ohhh

I could get one buildt here for less, maybe buy the foils.
Still an expensive toy. But long runs across the bays and lakes here
would be way too much fun and addictive.
