Robby Burns to 30 knots!

Worlds front runner and slalom winner Rob Gough showed once again thats he's the fastest Moth sailor in the world downwind by clocking 30 knots in his Mach 2 in Tasmania last weekend and setting a new speed record for the class.

Rob said "I was using the MSL13 and the Mach 2 mast. I was doing laps around a course in 25 to 30 knots. Coming in to the bottom mark doing 25 knots I got a bloody big gust that pushed me up to 30. The boat is quite stable at those speeds, sitting back heaps and praying that the wand (which is flicking like crazy) will do it's job".

Shit and to think just 2 years ago we had the prestigious "20 knot club"

Take a look at these numbers from Robs record breaking run, they are immense! What an effort!
