Miami time with AST + Mothcast Show No.20

So it seems my timing is a little off as Moth Miami regatta is over just as I am about to head over. I can’t complain too much really, as I have been asked to go over as a support person and as a part of the Australia Sailing Team and help out with the Scud 18′s.

A good friend of mine is trying to get selection for London Paralympics and with final spot for Australia yet to be decided, there is lots at stake. I’m actually off tomorrow afternoon, so sadly I will have to miss the Moth Nationals for the first time. It would have been interesting to see how I go, as 12 months after the boat  has been launched I finally feel the boat speed is there. Goes to show you how long it takes to develop a new design…

So my pick for the Nationals winner? I’d say Scott, however it wouldn’t surprise me if Joe or Nathan proved me wrong. With far less time than Scott in the boat this year, they have some work to do. However this is Nathan we are talking about, so I could well be wrong!

… And speaking of no idea, Mothcast show No.20 “My Boat Scares The Shit Out Of Me” can be downloaded here.
