I think you've overestimated the importance of the Brass Monkey regatta Doug. No offence to the organisers, but it's a poorly attended tinpot...
Thankfully, Doug does not post on the AUS Moth forum.
Ever heard of globalisation? This chatter about ground-breaking placement of the front foil is laughable. Do you think BR (and the other Moth...
I don't know why I bother replying... but... Squaddy Monkey boats are hardly "equal ability" to World Champion Rohan. In 4 seasons at the...
Probably not. I don't think I could win against myself in an 18. Perhaps on a course where the 18s had to reach without spinnakers, but the 18 VMG...
I'm not aware of any foilers having raced an Aussie 18' skiff, let alone beat them around the course. I wouldn't mind giving them a run though.
No, the link is still there. Still misspelled. It's under Moth Blogs with the rest of them. Post the link? Have you heard of Google?
It was only 200 miles from your place Doug. Why didn't you drive down for the weekend? Please don't copy-and-paste my blog posts into this...
Why not? What could be more important than meeting Rohan, checking out the Bladerider and taking it for a sail? In your home state even?
Talk about off-topic! But then what is the point of this thread exactly?
Has anyone put together the equivalent numbers for Australia? I tried doing it a while ago, but had too many gaps. Anyone interested in finding...
I like the use of my limbs too much to sail a Moth at 40 knots. I must be soft.
When are you starting a blog of your own Doug?
The difference side-to-side isn't really noticeable. The wand still controls the altitude when the boat is heeled. No problem. There may be a...
Definitely a photo op. Thierry has been to visit Rohan several times purely to take photos - like that one. There would be a crash very soon...
A bit off topic... but I don't recall Brett's Windrush ever racing against one of the early Fastacraft foilers, though perhaps they did some...
Alfa 1 or 2? CT, I thought Alfa 1 was a fixed-keel 90'?
Doug, I'd say the spinnaker does... but in a roundabout sort of way. In a skiff (18, 49er, 29er etc), the addition of the kite would provide...
Give the guy a break. There's few people on the planet who are going to be competitive. Doug is not one of them and he's willing to admit it....
Am I not shiny enough for you? How does promoting the Moth to CaptJackSparrow help? He says: and Perhaps suggesting boats with spinnakers...
