The UK Moth Nationals are down in Torbay, starting this Thursday. It should be a great event, so keep an eye on www.int-moth.org.uk for the latest news…
Mike Cooke, sailing the first of the 2010 Ninja,s took first in the foiler fleet at the Steve Nicholson race with two race wins. Alex Adams was runner up, 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. There were lots of holes and plenty of opportunities to mess it up. Cookie took the win from Alex in a close finish. The second race was in a bit more breeze, allowing Ninja Tuna to show her stuff. Cookie took the win by over half a lap, causing the race committee some confusion in the process!
Katherine Knight took to the skies over the weekend in her new Floppy. The foiling Oppy was dreamed up by Adam May a good few years back and it’s great to see the project come to life – especially as the Floppy is 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!

Here is the first picture of the new 2010 Ninja in action down in Torquay. She promises to be a beauty!

The UK Moth Nationals took place last week and saw a new national champion crowned! Cookie, sailing the prototype Ninja, took three race wins and the overall trophy after a hard fought battle with Rod Harris in his Prowler Zero and Mike Lennon in his Mach two.
