Moth sailors are exhibitionists, it kind of goes with the territory. Many make great movies about their sailing, and many great movies are made of the increasingly high profile Moth events...
Side view of the Mach 2 Hull. The hull, foredeck and transom are one moulding and like this she weighs 3.64 kilo's. The bow bonnet which protects the wand mechanism is not yet fitted. Nearly all the hull is made from unidirectional carbon fibre laid at 45 degrees.
Ready for the cockpit floor. The Mach 2 name is a created from carbon fibre and inserted as the boat is constructed. The foredeck is part of the hull and not a separate moulding. This makes for a stronger lighter monocoque due to no joints and and less material.
The back of the cockpit floor straight from the mould showing the rear wing bar mountings and carbon finish. The floor weighs 1.98KG
A view of the Mach 2 transom showing cut away design which creates extra strength and also a weight saving. The gantry fixing point is visible above transom chine.
The hull seen from the front showing bow compartment with mountings to accept wand linkages. Bow bonnet which covers this compartment not shown.
