Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Does anyone have a Classic Moth or low rider for sale. Not for me by the way. A friend is looking for one. Please contact me if you have a suitable boat, projects welcome.

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Someone at my club has a lowrider that, last thing I heard, they are looking to sell. It's a very narrow one so not sure if old enough to be 'Classic', think they said it was a skippy or maybe skippy 2? I can find out more or put you in touch if it might be of interest....

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
I think you started something here Peter V, all the Finn fleet looking for Moths, what a turnup
Will keep a lookout for you Alan (sorry, your friend )
I do know of an early Roland Europe / Europa moth that would qualify. Opposite end of the scale from a Skippy!

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Shall we do a class swap at the next event then?

Nice idea Peter but I think I'll watch rather than join in!

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Hi Ian and Keith
Keith thanks for the heads up I've emailed the details to Mike Woodhead
No way is there for me to sail a Moth. Firstly too heavy, secondly too clumsy, thirdly they would not be able to take the load and finally not fit enough. Sailed Moths quite a lot when I was a student (all 11stone of me), all that I could afford. Chelsea Morning cost me £75 to build. Most expensive item the sail £25. Later had a scow which was fun and could pan fireballs in the right conditions. The moth is for a friend, finn sailor who now has lost shed loads of weight (really skinny), and is looking for a new challenge. The rest of us will stick with the old chariots.
Cheers Al
PS Anymore Moths for sale.

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
The only moth I have left is The Peril. Not strictly for sale unless someone truly passionate came along. I am too big for a moth now,but would only want this boat to go somewhere she would be treasured.

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Hi Guys still looking for a Moth for Mike. Thanks for details of the Skippy 2 for sale but Mikes looking for an older wider design. He's prepared to build a new one to an old design if there are any plans around. Please keep searching.
Thanks

What about a magnum 5? Stephen is hardly using his, I could see if he wanted to sell.

Hi Nessa
Please could you pass on his details of his boat to me and whether he wants to sell it.
Thanks

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
My Europa (K2588) is available......all the hard work has been done......a few bits of minor carpentry to do and then just paint and varnish. Realistically I am unlikely to sail this, mainly due to injuring my neck earlier this year, which is now causing me real problems. Just PM me if this is of any interest.

Re: Wanted Classic moth or lowrider
Still looking for moth for Mike. He's based at Yorkshire Dales SC. Nessa did you have any luck with finding out if the Mag 5 was for sale. Mikes looking for something which isn't to extreme and is a lowrider. Prepared to build one if plans are available.
