Sailor Guide

While the gear guides are cool and of course Moth Sailors are "Gear Heads" when you really get down to it, I think the lineup for this years World Championships is what the class should be talking about. While maybe small in numbers the list is pretty impressive in quality, quick Google search came up with the following:

Scott Babbage 2006 29er World Champ, 2nd Moth Worlds

Dalton Bergan 2006 49er NA Champ 2005 49er NA Championship 2nd
Anthony Boscolo 2008 29er US Champ 1996 US Double Handed Champion, Bemis Trophy
Sean Couvreux 2001 Rolex Olympic Classes 49er 2nd
Rob Gough 2009 Victorian State Champs, 2nd
Bora Gulari 2008 NA Champion 2008 PCC Champion
Kevin Hall 2005 Finn US Champion, Olympian

Hans Henken 2008 29er Euros Bronze
Morgan Larson 2007 49er NA Champion, 3x 3rd Worlds

Andrew McDougall 2008 World Championships 2nd
Charlie McKee 2001 49er World Champion, Bronze Olympics

Jonathan McKee 2001 49er World Champion, Gold Olympics

Nigel Oswald 2000 UK National Champion
Nathan Outteridge 2008 49er World Champion, 2009 too

Simon Payne 2006 World Champion, 5x Euro Champ

George Peet 2005/2006 Volvo Ocean Race
Arnaud Psarofaghis 2008 European Champion, 2009 too

Chris Steele 2007 Optimist World Champion
Rohan Veal 2005 World Champion, 2007 too

Tim Wadlow 49er Olympian, 2nd 2007 49er NA's



Surely there are people with great sailing achievements I forgot or whom I have not met yet.

See everyone at the regatta.
