The final Moth Grand Prix of the season takes place this weekend, 7th and 8th September, hosted by the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. The weekend is set to be a special event for a number of reasons.
Firstly we are pleased to introduce the new 'Blue fleet' to the Moth class. The 'Blue fleet' is aimed at slightly older design Moths such as the Mach 2. With a separate start planned, and a slightly shorter windward leg, boats in this fleet will find themselves in a race with a similar target time, whilst avoiding the melee of the main fleet start.
With a good Mach 2 costing less than £4000, this newly introduced fleet provides a great opportunity for quality racing at an incredible value.
Whilst the Moth class can lay claim to be, perhaps unflatteringly, the most expensive dinghy on the market, with the introduction of the 'Blue fleet' it can now boast the cheapest entry level foil racing around.
It's not just the Moth fleet who will be racing around Portland Harbour this weekend: There's a new kid on the block! Keen eyes might have spotted the Switch One Design at the dinghy show earlier this year, and this, effectively one design Moth, is now set to see its first ever UK racing event.
