Largest Moth Worlds Ever!

It includes a range of the world’s top sailors who have achieved the ultimate prizes in sailing from the Olympics, Extreme 40 Series, Volvo Ocean Race and the America’s Cup.
“This isn’t a surprise as we know the class is in rude health, but it’s still a great achievement for the International Moth Class and Hayling Island Sailing Club” said Mike Lennon, International Vice President. “Worlds fever has increased Moth attendances at UK and Eurocup events plus the UK International Moth membership is now the largest it has been in its 80 year history.”
