Born in the USA

Been an awesome year so far. These 2 images are about 12 months apart, and in between has been some awesome regattas plus my first Worlds. The only thing that remains the same is the rash vest! Learnt a ton, had a great time, made a ton of new friends. Changed my sail number form a GBR to USA. Last regatta for 2010 is a Pre Worlds training event at ABYC in a few weeks. The next leap forward will be made right there as Bora and George will be racing with their new wing rigs.... Cant wait and cant wait to see what 2011 brings for the Class....

Awesome to be part of the revolution.......

Wings Across America

This is the dawning of a new age. Bora launched Wing No 2 built by the Skiffworks in 8 days and possibly being offered as a kit a little further down the track. Its modelled here by Anthony. Both this one and the one Adam built look simply gorgeous and they seem to suit a moth so well. The blogshpere is full of "are they legal", "should they be allowed", but I still think the real issue is "are they faster"? And here I don't mean in a straight line but in a real world sailing event. Transporting them around will also have to be solved, but at least the "trailermahal" I built in the earlier part of the year may well come in handy!

So what else is going on? Not much Moth sailing since the Anarchy love fest. New job, to much work plus family commitments over last month means been to busy. Plan to go next weekend if any of you SoCal Mothistas are up for it.

Last event of the season coming up. It will be 12th thru 14th in Coronado, a combined regatta / packing the container for the Worlds event! Hey and guess what it is most likely the first competitive outing for a wing! Be there!

Sweet Child O' Mine

Been ignoring the blog recently. New job is taking up the time as well as Presidential duties in getting shipping organized for the Worlds. Pieced this together over weekend, amazing how tramps change colour!

Wish Id gone to HPOD now

Also Thierry Martinez is hot footing it to Detroit. Wonder wing to be launched??
