Josh McKnight, winner of the Moth Worlds in 2012 has started his campaign for the 2014 Moth worlds with a win at the Italian Open Moth Nationals in Lake Garda, Italy with seven bullets out of nine races. This regatta opened The Foiling Week at Lake Garda and attracted competitors from around the world including the current US Nationals winner Anthony Kotoun.

The conditions were breezy (up to 30 knots on day one) which suited Josh. However, this took the toll on the boats with Rob Gough, also from Australia having gear breakage on Day three. Foiling week includes presentations on foiling across the many classes. Josh is now heading to Hayling Island in the UK for the Moth Worlds which starts on 16th July. The Worlds has attracted a fleet of over 130 boats with entries from Olympic medalists and America’s Cup sailors including 2011 Moth world Champion Nathan Outteridge.

Three races were sailed on the last day of the Italian Moth Championship, all three won by Josh McKnight AUS, who is the stellar winner of the competition ahead of Anthony Kotoun ISV and Ben Patton GBR. The oceanic racer Sébastien Col FRA finished the event on rank 23 among the 33 participants.

On Tuesday, the Lake Garda Foiling-Week continues with test and trial heats for the multihulls and kites, while the Moths will be competing in an Invitational Race.
