Photos & Video: International Moth Regatta

December 5, 2016

High winds caused sailing to be called off yesterday [Dec 4] at the MS Amlin International Moth Regatta on Bermuda’s Great Sound, with the competition picking up again today [Dec 5].

Hosted by the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the $10,000 regatta began on Saturday [Dec 3] and runs through Friday [Dec 9].

Last year Rob Greenhalgh and Paul Goodison finished first and third; Greenhalgh trailed by one point heading into the final day and then went out and won all three races in dominant fashion to stamp an 8-point victory. Goodison, a member of Artemis Racing for the America’s Cup, placed third.

At the 2016 Moth World Championship in Japan last May, however, it was Goodison, the 2008 Olympic Gold medalist in the Laser class, who turned the tables. Goodison won his first Moth World Championship with Greenhalgh third.
