Moth World Championship- Light to moderate winds on Day 3

by Alan Block on 17 Oct 2013 Light to moderate trade winds prevailed on Kaneohe Bay Hawaii today, allowing four spectacular races in the postcard-perfect conditions Hawaii is known for for the third day of the 2013 McConaghy + McDougall International Moth World Championship.

2009 Moth World Champion Bora Gulari took advantage of a weaker performance from Nathan Outteridge today, blasting ahead of the 2011 World Champ by a five point margin. Florida’s Brad Funk closed to within eight points of Outteridge to round out the top three.

Today’s high-speed action meant plenty of breakages, collisions, and general carnage on the course; the Moth Worlds media team will send a more detailed news release, along with today’s HD highlight reel, and the winner of the $1000 Velocitek 'Dash For Cash', in the early hours of the morning.
