New Moth Designs in the UK for 2022

A quick heads-up for anyone heading off to this weekend's Dinghy Show to keep an eye out for the new Exploder design on the Ovington stand. The Exploder was first seen at last years Garda Worlds where it put in a strong showing with this first UK arrival set to be raced by Kyle Stoneham.

The other arrival for 2022 has rumours of the new Maguire Aerocet close to production after a concentrated development period with Olympic Gold medallist Dylan Fletcher on board, testing against the dedicated Portland Harbour-based skippers.

The new Maverick launched late last year by Fluid Composites will be another to watch.

How these new designs will stack up against our UK fleet of Exocets, Thinairs, Rockets and Biekers for 2022 will be interesting, with plenty of time being spent on the water over the winter months between storms.

A solid calendar of events will soon be on us, with trips to both Oxford SC and Queen Mary SC through March to get us started.
