Moth (dinghy)

The Moth Class is the name for a small development class of sailing dinghy. Originally a cheap home built sailing boat designed to plane, now it is an expensive largely commercially produced boat designed to hydroplane on foils. Many of the older design Moths still exist and are fun recreational boats but far slower.

Types

The Moth types have been (not all may still exist):

the International Moth, a fast sailing hydrofoil dinghy with liberal restrictions;

the Classic Moth, a traditional dinghy with tighter restrictions

the British Moth, a one design sailboat similar to those sailed in the 1930s

the New Zealand Mark 2 scow moth which became abundant in the 1970s.

the earlier Restricted Moth of the 1960s and 70s which had fewer restrictions allowing for class development. Confusingly, this nomenclature was sometimes used interchangeably with the term International Moth in Australia and NZ.

History

Beginnings

The current International Moth is a result of merging two separate but similar historical developments. The first occurred in Australia in 1928 when Len Morris built a cat rigged (single sail) flat bottomed scow(horizontal bow rather than the "normal" vertical) to sail on Andersons' Inlet at Inverloch, a seaside resort, 130 km from Melbourne. The scow was hard chined, was 11 feet (3.4 m) long, and carried 80 square feet (7.4 m²) in single mainsail. The craft was named "Olive" after his wife. The construction was timber with an internal construction somewhat like Hargreave's box kite. "Olive's" performance was so outstanding, that a similar boat "Whoopee" was built. Len Morris then sold "Olive", and built another boat called "Flutterby", and with those three boats, the Inverloch Yacht Club was formed. Restrictions for the class known as the Inverloch Eleven Footer class were then drawn up, with the distinguishing characteristic that of being not a one-design boat but rather that of a boat permitting development within the set of design parameters.

Moth

by: Amanda Somerville

I blame it all on you for feeling this way
You and your wily ways
'Cause I don't stand to gain a thing
I give you all the room you need
I fill in the gaps between your lines
But there's nothing there to read
And I can't stop now
I can't give in
Did you take all that you wanted?
Go round and round
The ice is thin
Have you no mercy?
[Chorus:]
It's getting awfully hot in here
I race for an escape
You're radiating all I fear
I know I'll burn if I get too near
But I can't pull away, though I've nothing to gain
I'm a moth to your flame
I know you've had your suspicions
Because I've given you reason to doubt
That my words are without meaning
I'd break you out of your cell
I would slip you the key under watchful eyes
But you pretend not to see
And I see you smile
I feel you stare
The mercury keeps rising
You start this fire
Send up your flares
Then leave me hanging
[Chorus]
Grant me some relief, be it only one kiss
Stave off my yearning with the grace of your lips
Give me some reprieve, let it be my demise
Have I misread all of your seemingly tell-tale signs
And your promising rhymes?
[Chorus]
You burn my wings and...
I blame it all on you for feeling this way
You and your wily ways
