Dun Laoghaire has been gradually building up a fleet of International Moths, led graciously by marvelous nutters like John Chambers. Now it's the refuge of bored Olympians too, with Rory Fitz, Annalise M and suchlike all making the leap.
This week, apart from admiring their bravery and persistence as they zoom around the harbor we can also admire their results in the recent UK Nationals where Rory was 23rd and John was 35th in a fleet of 70. And this is without them having access to any regular class racing.
Annalise was there too but couldn't sail the first half of the event.
It also gives more seriousness to the hope that the upcoming DLR will have enough wind to get this lot foiling. It'll be quite a show.
