Slingsby Wins World Moth Champs
Kirk Marcolina
After a near-perfect score card at the end of the penultimate day of racing, Tom Slingsby has clean swept another day of racing to clinch his maiden Moth World Championship with a day to spare. The event is being held at Mounts Bay Sailing Club in WA.
After coming ashore, Slingsby told Sail-World that he was extremely happy with the win.
“I just had good speed, I was starting well and I was just trying not to explode the boat, which I’ve done a lot in the past,” he said. “It feels amazing, the Moth Class I love it, I’ve been doing it since 2010, I’ve got so many good friends in the fleet.
“I love the development and playing with the boat. I’m a Laser sailor and I’ve come over to this and I find it really enjoyable. I just somehow got the right package with the North Sails, Exocet boat, and CST rigs, and I was off.”
