That's local to us Shearwater folks if anyone far away is interested.

Go on, even I have! They are fun, so much fun, infact, I got myself a skol!

Well I spose I had better fess up. I have recently bought a BM to sail at Shearwater and at the odd small pond/ditch event.
Great little boats for restricted water and light winds. Could I be tempted? No one is enough but I work in Trowbridge so can look and take pics if anyone wants more info.

Different species, Max - the British Moth is the little scow bowed one design with the big Merlin style sail.

I know, but they are both moths! What I am saying, is that any moth is so responsive to how you put in the controls, and how you set up your rig, that they are all good fun to fiddle with anyway!

I might regret it after a few swimming sessions! I don't do cold and wet, too old.

No!!! too creaky and can't move fast enough!! After a year of having terrible river conditions that almost wiped out our sailing altogether I had a go, don't like it, rather be in an enterprise, at least I can move about in it. A very enthusiastic youngster was having a go so I said he could use it then ended up giving it to him now striped down, new cover bought etc. the youth in the club are back
