I haven't sailed this summer, but I'm not giving up for the winter or spring. That 1st Moth was designed & built by my Dad. It can best be described as a rounded version of the Cates (or Florida) Moth that had been winning most of the races prior to that. Here's a photo at the 1964 Florida State Championships, showing both designs. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rambler 153 #110 Posted November 4, 2019 The joys of river sailing. The art is to leave just enough room to get it down if you have to. Of course, there's always the odd feral gust The float is not class reg. But after breaking a brand new carbon mast in the mud the first day it was used, its a form of club racing insurance.

JimC 652 #145 Posted November 12, 2019 Solid. Its an attempt to provide more room in the cockpit and less vang induced mast bend - or stump bend in that case if I interpret the photo correctly. The vang is a large purchase acting horizontally between the end of the lever and the front bulkhead. Sometimes called a Temple Vang. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winston29 71 #148 Posted August 20, 2020 I finally got a picture of my C 14.2 on the water. Unfortunately, it's not me in the boat and I didn't take the picture. The new owner took it. Yup, that's right. I sold it already. Owned it for a year, sailed it maybe 8 times (probably less), then sold it. Nice little boat, but just not what I want.

The graph is typically of a 14m video segment. There's other video software with more control. Lately I've been using Chartedsails.com using gps data to look at speed, in particular around tacks, gybes and starts. It's still a bit rough but worth it.
