Hi

What are the max speeds of Lowrider moths?
I come from windsurfing also have a good experience sailing older mini6.50 transat sailboat.
I weight 90kg, will it be fun to sail a moth just for fun,no regattas becouse of my weight.

Thanks

David

David,

it's not the speed that thrills, it's the acceleration. Moths and especially Lowriders are not easy to sail but extremely rewarding boats. Especially getting downwinds in a blow can be a handful.
Speed can be up to 14 - 16 kts.

Cheers,
Burkh
