In the NS14’s Hugh Tait an Tara McCall were convincing winners in their new boat proving that our “Tiger” design is the boat to have.
Alex Mc Fadyen and Mathew Stocks won a close series from Josh McKnight and James Lawira-Fernandez 2nd with Scott Cotton and Max Vos 3rd.

So if you want to be at the front of the fleet inquire now about a new boat and be ready for next season.

The recently launched Hungry Tiger Foiler Moth featured in the November 14th issues of the Sydney Morning Herald.

The prototype boat developed for local sailor Scott Babbage has proved to be a success in only the first few months of use, winning a race of the Moth NSW selection series by over 20 minutes.

Consistent good results have seen Les Thorpe take home the 2005 Australian Moth Championship. After close 2nd places in both 2002 and 2003, this is Les’ first Moth Australian Title, and the 7th Australian Championship win for the Hungry Tiger design.

The series was sailed from Black Rock Yacht Club in Melbourne as a lead up event for the 2005 Moth World Championships. The Hungry Tiger proved to be the best all-round design in the range of conditions, with Tigers taking 8 of the top 10 places.

More information on Hungry Tigers is available on the International Moth page, or the Australian Moth Class web site.
