Old School

Way back in my High School days I took my moth to the Combined High Schools (CHS) regatta. The CHS regatta is sailed every year at Belmont, site of the next Australian worlds. Anyhoo here is a scan I did today of a photo that was on my wall for ages growing up.

International moth Toledo at Belmont NSW

Now if I could only find the shot of my third boat, Disaster Area that I have lost somewhere.

    What hull design is 8656? She appears to be a wide skiff without wings (or perhaps ply box wings?)
    I also note you left off the year of the photo….

  2. Joe,

    I have no idea what the design was, essentially it was skiff bow, and scow stern with ply box wooden wings out to the maximum width.

    The mast and boom were both wood.

    The year would have been 1987 or 1988
