going rogue.....but not really at all.

This is going to be the silliest shit I ever write on here.........This guy (Eric Nelson) moved to town and brought his moth. I went to Union Reservoir on Sunday to check it out (just lookin, ya know). I shouldn't have done that. Hydrofoil Sailing is even cooler than I had imagined. I sat there for a couple hours just watching. Then I came home and started figuring out how to chop my boat to fit moth rules.( something I've been fighting internally since the beginning). Now it's inevitable. Something I never thought would happen is happening. Moths are coming to Colorado. There is some talk, and defiantly some interest. Now its one thing when your a lone wingnut on a mountaintop who's going to develop this wacky idea out of pure isolation. nothing to do but get quotes and things for custom one off parts and masts and sails. (Making a one off boat is a pain in the ass). Its something all together different to have to watch other people race some pretty cool boats against each other with standard parts and kit all available and such, while your still getting quotes. Combine that with the supertech arms race that's going on in the class.... I need in. I'm sorry to anyone who thought this thing had legs, maybe someday. Right now I just want to get sailing. All you crazy SA moth legends "you told me so" I should have listened. More to come, I'm working on it. the cut down hull shape is super wacky. Anyone who read my thread on SA about wider low freeboard hullshapes won't be surprised, that thread was the beginning of this move. Have at it. Onward and upward.........
