From On The Water Anarchy: 2015 Moth World Championship Day 3 video

Posted in video, Web's news on by .

A promising forecast rapidly deteriorated into what was the lightest most controversial race yet. A very small percentage of boats were able to even foil, while the rich got richer and sailed away the majority were left low riding. Chris Draper lead all the way till the finish line when he got passed by Japan’s Hiroki Goto. 7 of the 79 sailors in the Gold fleet were able to finish in time leading the way into the controversy as to why the RC ever started the race in the first place.

Japan to the fore at McDougall + McConaghy 2015 Moth Worlds

Posted in TFW's news on by .

2015mothworlds hiroki goto

Japan’s Hiroki Goto unusually showed emotion after taking out Race 8 in the Gold fleet Finals of the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship being hosted by the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club at Sorrento in Victoria.

“Japanese people do not show emotion, but I was leading. There was nobody in front of me and a big spectator fleet as I came to the finish. It was the most amazing feeling. I could not help it, I shouted out, because I was so happy. It felt so good to win,” Goto said.

Goto typically enjoys the breeze, “but I was in good shape from the beginning. I was in the top ten in the light breeze on the first day (he was third in the opening race) and now today I win. I don’t understand, as I feel best in 15 knots and sailing on flat seas.

“Today I just seemed to have the advantage – it is strange to discover I can sail in light wind. I was in second place for a while; Chris Draper (GBR) had a good lead. But I gybed and was sailing deeper and faster and I could gybe on my foils. Chris couldn’t,” said Goto, who took the lead at that point and has moved up to 14th overall.

Peter Burling (NZL) continued his good run with third place in a dwindling north-nor ‘easterly wind that petered out to 2-3 knots. Race officials abandoned further racing for the day at the conclusion of Race 8 for the Gold fleet.

Nathan Outteridge was timed out in 19th place (“that has never happened to me before,” the Australian said) and dropped down to sixth place overall, Burling now leads 2012 Moth world champion, Josh McKnight, by 11 points with a drop in play. McKnight finished fifth in today’s race.

Following 10th place Scott Babbage has moved into third place, while Great Britain’s Chris Rashley (GBR) is in fourth place after finishing eighth. On equal points behind him is fellow Brit, Chris Draper, who was second today behind Goto.

There will be cause for double celebration in Japan, as their only female contender Wakako Tabata has lead the Women’s since Day 1. Not only that, she is sailing in the Gold fleet and was very excited by her 48th place today. Why? “Because I beat Tom Slingsby – I beat Tom Slingsby,” she said, incredulous.

“I am surprised I am the leading woman. I have only sailed a Moth for half a year and I am sailing against women like Sam England (AUS) and Annalise Murphy (IRE),” Tabata said. England won the Women’s 2011 world title, while Murphy finished fourth at the 2012 Olympics in the Laser Radial.

Tabata represented Japan in the 470 Women’s at the 2012 Olympics. Beforehand, she won the 470 Women’s title at the Asian Games. Currently, she and Goto are campaigning for the 2016 Olympics in the Mixed Nacra 17.

“We have only been sailing the Nacra together for half a year also,” Goto laughs. “We are not very good, but I think now that both of us are sailing the Nacra and the Moth, we will only become better. That is the hope.”

Goto is also excited as the next Moth Worlds will be held in his hometown of Hayama, Japan. “Wakako also lives nearby. We are thinking about it already,” he ended.

The Silver fleet did not race today. Currently Adriano Petrino (ITA) leads Tom Spithill (AUS) and Ryan Seaton (IRE).

Racing at the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship is due to start from 1100 hours tomorrow morning.

Rohan Veal – former Moth world champion from Victoria returns to the fold

Posted in TFW's news on by .

2015mothworlds rohan veal

In 2005, Victoria’s Rohan Veal had only been in the Moth class for four years and pulled off the biggest coup in Moth history when he won the 2005 Moth Worlds – the first person to win the Worlds using the hydrofoil technique – in 2009 he left competitive sailing, but has returned to the fold at the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship.

‘Lord of the Wings’, as Veal is known for his Moth antics, made a last minute comeback. “I’d planned to come down here anyway, just to watch, because I didn’t want to miss it. Andrew McDougall said he had a spare boat, did I want to race. It was a pretty hard decision, but hard to pass up. Now he’s loaned me the boat, I had no choice but to say yes, so I entered the day the Worlds started.”

Protagonist Veal’s 2005 Worlds win left mixed feelings among the diehards who were not keen to accept a ‘hydrofoiler’ as the world champion. Then 28, the Victorian sailor was at the forefront of development in the class.

He first took the foiler to the Worlds in 2003, in France. “I went on the water and did what the English referred to as the ‘Veal Heel’, an aggressive windward heel and bow up technique,” Veal explained in 2005.

The class ‘guinea pig’, Veal moved forward with the next www of development and went on to clean sweep the 2007 Japan Moth National Championship, professing he did so with “a combination of Andrew McDougall’s design and development on the boat, along with some skill/technique that we have been working on with Andrew and Lex Bertrand for many months beforehand.”

On the funny side, Veal was the subject of police scrutiny, for speeding three times the limit inside harbours!

2007 Moth World Championship to now

Veal won the first eight races to clean sweep again with a Bladerider at the 2007 Worlds. Scott Babbage (NSW) finished a comfortable second overall with a Bladerider and Victorian Andrew ‘A-Mac’ McDougall, who designed the Bladerider, was the second Master sailor and a respectable sixth overall.

“I haven’t sailed since, not a Moth or a dinghy – let alone hiked on a boat. My first real taste of getting back into this will be the first heat. I’m just going through the boat with A-Mac (McDougall) and trying to get my head around it.

“All the issues I had back in the early days have been resolved. To finish every race is my major goal,” Veal ended.

Not only has Veal finished every race, he is in a remarkable 36th overall with a top finish of 15th, which he has achieved three times and made it into the Gold fleet finals with the likes of Olympic medallists and America’s Cup stars. Along Veal All three have thrown their hats in the ring at these Worlds. All three have designs on the title, make no mistake, they would not be here otherwise.

It goes without saying that Veal racing a Mach 2, the end result of collaboration between McDougall and McConaghy. The two spent many years working together to develop high performance Moth designs, such as the Mach 2, which was immediately successful and has dominated the top of the Worlds leaderboard since 2009.

Racing at the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship continues on today with the commencement of the Finals Series. At the time of writing, one race had been completed before the Gold fleet had been sent ashore due to little and fluky breezes.

Posted in TFW's news, video on by .

There wasn’t a lot of wind on day 3 of the McDougall+McConaghy 2015 Moth Worlds. Gold fleet were the only ones to get in a race. We caught up with Olympic medalist/America’s Cup helmsman, Chris Draper (GBR), and the race winner, Hiroki Goto (Japan) to hear about the one and only race of the day. We also had a chat with New Zealand match racer, Chris Steele, to talk about the obstructions and distractions around the boat park.

2015 Moth Worlds Day 2. 023,Peter BURLING,NZL 4219, 132,Tom SLINGSBY,AUS 4133

New Zealand’s Peter Burling reeled off four straight wins to take the lead on Day 2 of the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship on Port Phillip in Sorrento, Victoria, sounding the warning bell for the other 159 competitors.

With the fleet split into Blue and Yellow, Burling was in the Blue group on a course closer to shore. Defending world champion Nathan Outteridge (AUS) was in the Yellow on a course further out and on the receiving end of bumpier conditions and scored 3-2-2-1 results.

Two drops are in place following the seven qualifying races. Burling is on 5 points and Outteridge on 7. Tomorrow the fleet will be divided into Gold and Silver, with the top half of leaderboard going through to the Gold fleet.

Ashore Burling said: “I won all four races – the last one by over a lap, which is pretty pleasing in this fleet. it’s all come together here,” he said referring to his disappointing results at the Worlds in 2011 and 2013.

“I did well in the light and shifty weather yesterday and today was as good. I put a lot of work into improving my game for this event.”

“We were in flatter more manageable water than the Yellow fleet, but even so, I dropped off the foil at one www and fell back to 11th, but I still got back and won. Everyone had a swim, or crashed or overtook,” the 2012 Olympic 49er silver medallist said of the course which was closer to the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, host for the event.

On Nathan Outteridge, Burling said: “Both of us have different commitments now – me with Emirates Team NZ and him with Artemis Racing (AC syndicates). We’re still good mates, but things are slightly different now. He is my biggest challenge for this title, of course.”

The Kiwi sailor named Chris Rashley and Chris Draper from Great Britain and Australians Tom Slingsby, Iain ‘Goobs’ Jensen, Josh McKnight and Scott Babbage as other threats.

For his part, Outteridge said of Burling: “I’ll face him tomorrow, because qualifying is over and we’ll be in the Gold fleet. I beat him on the first day in light air – that’s what I’m best at, but tomorrow’s meant to be even windier than today… I’ll be OK, but I prefer the light.

“I was OK for the first race today, but then the current changed – the last race especially was full-on and I was just trying to keep up with the leaders. It was bumpy and hard going and we all swam at some www; everyone’s feeling it.”

On his Yellow fleet opponents: “Five of us shared it around, me; Chris Rashley (GBR), Josh McKnight (AUS), Scott Babbage (AUS) the top four from the last Worlds in the Yellow fleet, so it was never going to be easy. Dave Lister got (AUS) amongst it too.”

Babbage is tucked into third place overall, a win in Race 6 giving him the jump on Outteridge’s 49er crew and fellow Artemis Racing team member, Iain Jensen, who sailed in the Blue fleet and is fourth overall after, “three good races, but I broke a bunch of stuff in the fourth… It was bumpy, crazy and full-on in the last two races,” he said.

Not so lucky was 2008 Olympic Tornado silver medallist and multiple multihull world champion Glenn Ashby (AUS). The Emirates Team NZ wing trimmer suffered extensive damage after a crash with one of the American boats in Race 6, dropping him down the board and cutting him out of Race 7, for which he will ask for redress.

“Lucky I’m a Sailmaker, so I can fix that, but I’ve got a broken foil and bow damage that will take a bit of fixing. Apart from that, it was a tough and bumpy old day, but awesome sailing.”

Racing will get underway from 1300 hours tomorrow.

Sixteen countries are represented in the record fleet of 160: Australia (97), Austria (2), Denmark (1), France (5), Great Britain (7), Hong Kong (1), Ireland (3), Italy (5), Japan (5), New Zealand (1), Norway (8), South Africa (1), Sweden (2), Switzerland (7), the US Virgin Islands (1) and USA (13).
