The “International Moth Lowriders” are the original non-foiling International Moth sailing dinghies.
The International Moth class is a “development” dinghy where the rules around hull design allow for a huge variety of shapes and configurations, with a limited set of rules defining hull length, width and concavities and a maximum measured sail area, and no minimum weight limit.
Before the current generation of fast foiling International Moths were developed in the early 2000’s, there were 70 years of design development of Moths that were displacement dinghies that progressively got lighter, sprouted wings & trampolines, and got ever narrower on the waterline.
They were challenging to sail, mainly home built out of thin plywood, and offered thrilling sailing on a budget. Now they’re appealing to a new generation of enthusiastic sailors with limited budgets as well as the “Old Hands” who’ve returned to re-live the golden times of their earlier years.
