International Moth Worlds

by Event Media on 8 Oct 2001 Race 1 Sailed in a NE 20-25 knot wind, there was carnage during the first race, mostly among the Japanese sailors. The first
four boats in the first race traded places for most of the race, until there were a few capsizes, mostly on the gybe
marks of the 'p' courses.

Freddy and Patrick from Switzerland were most disappointed to finish just outside the 20 minute time limit after the
first boat. This limit has been revised to 30 minutes now. Only 7 boats finished in the original time limit though.

Race 2

Heat 2 sailed in 15-20 knots NE breeze had about half the total number of entrants to start. Current World Champion
Chris Dey and Current Australian Champion Mark Thorpe had a great battle over the first lap. Thorpe got a good shift
halfway up the second work to gain a 50m lead. By the end of reaches this was closed to 30 m but then Thorpe
covered Dey to the finish to get the gun.

Moth sailing vetran, Andrew McDougall was 3rd, followed by Oliver Laing. There were some big gaps in the fleet
following this though! The courses and organisation have been superb. The races are on the long side, but all angles
are true and fair. There are support boats everywhere and many spectators have been accommodated on the water.
