Moth Worlds: see the video

If you've never seen a foiling moth in full flight, check this video out, then get to the moth World Championships on Port Phillip in January

The 2015 International Moth World Championships are coming to Sorrento, Vic. And it looks like being another year of record-breaking entry numbers, with over 140 boats from around the world. Sponsored by McDougall + McConaghy, the 2015 Worlds are shaping up to be one of the most competitive Moth fleets ever.

From January 9 to 16, 2015 the moths are going to descend on Melbourne for the Worlds and with them will come a plethora of sailing royalty from around the globe.

These lightweight foiling flyers weigh just 26kg, fly at about one metre above the water and travel at up to 30 knots (60km/h).

Based out of the iconic Sorrento Sailing and Couta Boat Club, the 2015 McDougall + McConaghy Moth World Championship will be sailed on the southern stretches of Melbourne’s Port Phillip bay.
