How interesting are modern Skiff Moths?
I was test sailing with a client this week, and got the shock of my life as I
watched this guy blast past us. I know, I know, foiler moths are so old
news these days. Yawn. I don't care. It's the first time I've
seen one zip past in full song, and I could not help but be impressed.
I want one, I want one, I want one! They look so absurd as they zip past,
12 - 16 inches in the air, looking as narrow as a single hull of a cobra
catamaran and sporting a camber induced rig from a formula sailboard. They
are amazing. Watching this bloke gybe was a highlight. Photo 4
caught him mid-gybe. He made the gybe easily, but went five feet and
stacked it. Oh well!
