Busy Ninjas

It’s been a busy summer at Aardvark HQ. We’ve been knocking out Ninja’s as fast as we can manage and have plenty on the books going forward. If you are after a new Moth to take on the world better get in touch fast before we’re all booked up!

Jason Belben sailed his Ninja to 10th at the recent Moth Euros in Switzerland with a couple of top 5 positions. Mike Cooke and Ben Paton both getting into the top 20 with very little time on the water bodes well for next season.

Ninja rules the Steve Nicholson race

Mike Cooke sailing the first of the 2010 Ninjas took first in the Foiler fleet at the Steve Nicholson race with two race wins. Runner up was Alex Adams sailing a Mistress 3 fitted with Ninja foils.

Cookie had a battle on his hands in the first race with a snakes and ladders style race with lots of holes and plenty of opportunity to mess it up, just taking the win from Alex. The second race was in a bit more breeze allowing Ninja Tuna to show her stuff, taking the win by over half a lap and causing the race committee some confusion in the process!

Floppy takes to the skies

Katherine Knight took to the skies over the weekend in her new Floppy. The foiling Oppy was dreamt up by Adam a good few years back and it’s great to see the project come to life!

Powered by Aardvark foils! While Adam missed the fully airborne shot (followed by an abrupt crash I would imagine with that blunt bow!) she shows plenty of potential. I’m sure there will be more to come!

Ninja 2010

After a few weeks of hard graft post wedding, the new 2010 Ninja is now in production (ok, about as production as we get here anyway – we build to order).

Tweaks include a new nose shape with the mast a bit further back for improved aero, a very slight reduction in freeboard for less drag once airborne and a smaller wing frame assembly for lighter weight and lower windage tramps.

I’m super pleased with it and looking forward to getting Ninja Tuna flying. No yours doesn’t have to be pink.

The International Moth page now has an up to date price list on it, along with a list of optional extras.

This season has kept me pretty busy with foils for conversions and homebuilds and I am going to carry on supplying foils to anyone who wants them, in any state of completion – If you have a project on the go and need verticals, or horizontals or a complete set, please get in touch.
