I Want it Wet & Wild – A Mid-life Crisis?

So, I think I want one of these… I’ve got the Miracle for sailing with the kids, but I do miss getting on the water on my own, don’t forget my roots are in the Optimist..single-handed sailing is something that I’ll never grow out…

Actually I really want one of these, its a foiling International Moth...

So currently I’m looking to invest, purchase, blow some money on a Foiling International Moth..

I may get a Low-Rider i.e. a non-hydrofoil one, play with that for a while and then get it converted… but ideally, mad, stupid, insane or not, I want to go straight into a foiler….

The challenge will be awesome, just check out the footage below taken at the Moth Worlds being held in Dubai currently…

So, the old, the original, Soulsailor, may be back with blog posts about the thrills and spills of trying to go freakin’ fast without, hopefully, seriously injuring myself..

So, the plan is:

1. Convince wife the investment is worth it (gotta be better than a sports car?)
2. Any of you with contacts in the Moth fleet put the feelers out (sorry no pun intended) for a second-hand boat
3. I need to get fitter!
4. I’ll keep trawling the web sites for a bargain
5. I’ll keep dreaming!

Fast & Low my Friends… Fast & Low & Close(ish) to the Water…
