What is a Moth?

Moths deliver high performance sailing and are a development class that have been evolving for over 75 years.  Once sailed with a hull that was a heavy, blunt nosed skiff, weighing about 50 kg, today they have remarkable foilers with hull weights of under 10 kg.

The sail plan has evolved from cotton sails on wooden spars, through to the fully battened Dacron sails on aluminium spars, to the windsurfer inspired sleeved film sails on carbon masts used today and manufactured by C-Tech.  The Moth is one of the few development classes left in the world and has very few design rules including no weight limit.

Hydrofoil Moths

The first hydrofoil Moths appeared in competition less than 10 years ago. The first commercially available Moth showed up in competition in 2004, the first year a hydrofoiling Moth won the Moth World Championships.  Since then, other manufacturers have produced similar designs and the craft have grown in popularity. The scene is biggest in Australia, but it has been catching on in the United States.

These hydrofoiling Moth's are unique as they hover above the water by way of a hydrofoil.  Since there is no drag and the boat in so incredibly light, they hit speeds over twenty-knots with relative ease.
