Great to watch. Surprised to see a Moth taking part in handicap racing - pretty hairy for the other sailors! Bet they cheer each time you capsize. Great video though and I love your Musto Skiff vids too.
Thanks, it’s a little tricky to compete on handicap, particularly on an older boat (although I assume that’s the same for most development classes when your sailing an old boat). These older moths are still sensational bang for buck though, even if winning on handicap is very unlikely!
9:50 that would be a two circles moment. I wish ISAF hadn't got rid of th 360, 720 wording. Because now some chances think a "two turn penalty" is merely a tack and a gybe. Not so.
@TomStuchberySailing-eg9vr oh, yeah! I had a sinking feeling in my gut when I remembered that Moths have the wand off the bow nowadays. Glad everything stayed in one piece!

I sailed for 50 years. Everything from dinghys to sailboards to keelboats. Nothing like a Moth, though! Unbelievable!
I agree Noel, Moths are my favourite boat, just so light, fast and responsive!
Looked good when the wind got up. That water is very cold this time of year, you are braver than me!
Thanks, although I wish I could tack like you guys!
Awesome footages!!
Thanks! Slowly learning how to use the camera properly!
thanke for sound
You’re welcome!
Loved this!!
Thanks Callum, I’ve enjoyed your Bladerider videos in the past too.

Definetly a two circles moment, but I was just happy the boat was OK so I could keep sailing. Thanks for watching Paul 😀

Yep, unfortunately this boat wasn’t in one piece a few weeks later (see other videos)!
Amazing! did you build this yourself?
Thanks! No, I bought the boat second hand, but I did a lot of the upgrades myself
