We have got him.... :-)

The boat was released by customs on friday. After a long wait I have got finally a sailboat again!
This weekend there was the first race of the revived Dutch Belgian moth association in Hellevoetsluis. It was a bit of a race against time to get everything ready for this, however i managed. This in spite of having two left hans and breaking a crucial part when assembling the boat
The event was a great succes. We got a great welcome from the catclub hellecat and everything was well organised. For me it was the first time to attend a moth event and special to see some people with whom I only communicated by e-mail before. It was great experience to meet a great bunch of people who all share the passion for moths and sailing this strange spieces of boats in particular.
In total the where 7 boats. Foilers and so called low riders. I managed to get the boat ready in time and the set-up as set from the factory was very goo
d. We gave a good show to the spectators on the beach and the cats who were also racing. Especially on sunday afternoon when there was a good breeze to get foiling. The last race I managed to overtake all the catamarans who started 5 minutes before us. This was a great experience.
Looking forward to the next dutch moth event! Attached a picture of how the boat arrived and how it looks when it was assembled. Results of the race can be found here
