Why the opening show of the season was so cool.
As always the RYA Dinghy and Watersports show was buzzing with boats, banter and bargains but this year also marked a big change with the move to its new venue in Farnborough. And after the lost year of 2021 it was especially good to be back.
Among the long list of fascinating exhibits I discovered:
- How reducing the aero drag on a foiling Moth allows the latest generation to clock up 18knots upwind and just 30 knots downwind
- What a Moth and an America’s Cup AC75 have in common
- The case for the fully electric RIB (want one)
- How a 60 year old boat can beat the carbon hot shots in its own class (want one)
- Why America’s Cup crew Freddie Carr admitted to’ Geeking out in his anorak’
- How an exciting skiff class has reinvented itself (want one)
…and lots more
