Josh McKnight crowned Moth World Champion

Josh McKnight onboard Flying Hellfish powered by Easy Tiger has won the 2012 Zhik Nautical Moth World Championship at Lake Garda, Italy. McKnight clocked a 1,3,1 in the three races sailed today to take out the title from nearest rival Scott Babbage by just three points in a nail-biting finish.

'This win is very special to me being my first world championship. It's also very satisfying to beat Scott because we train so hard against each other and it has shown in the results with us being first and second overall,' an elated McKnight said back onshore.

Racing got underway on Lake Garda at 10:00am to allow the fleet to take advantage of the more favourable Pelèr northerly breeze after an overnight storm predicted lighter winds in the afternoon.


'It was pretty windy and bumpy on the water for the first two races. In the first race Scott was leading at the first top mark and I stayed close behind him in second. He put it in solid downwind push and luckily I was able to sail around him to take a handy win,' McKnight said.

'In the second race I lead at the top mark but cart wheeled three times to round the bottom mark in fourth place. I managed to claw my way back to third place behind Scott who got a second right on the finish line while Rob Gough got the gun,' he added.

'By the last race the breeze had died off and I just had to stay within two places of Scott to win. Unfortunately for him he cart wheeled down the first run and I sailed through for another win.'

Going into the final day with such a slender margin McKnight admitted he was pretty nervous going into every race but just tried to stay focused.

'I just tried to sail every race individually and not think about the end result. The calibre of sailors is very high at every Moth Worlds and this one was no exception.'
