Development Hell


Anyone who has ever had anything to do with pictures (as in movies) knows what development hell is. Well the Moth is a development class and it isn't really maxing out on the fun factor to sail a Moth and not do any development, or is it?


To be honest there are two types of development. One is just finishing and making a production boat reliable. The other is true innovation that brings technical improvement to the class. Unfortunately all our much loved builders seem to think we have as much fun with the first kind of development as with the second. Maybe some us of do, who is to say? In that case thank you guys for throwing all that fun at us.


Long story short, I have not been posting because I have spent massive amounts of time doing both types of development. It has been largely fun and inspiring with a few fleeting moments of despair thrown in.


I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who has contributed, listened and helped out in the past weeks of blogging silence. The result could not have been possible without you all. And that is a very big all. It has been a huge team effort and some of you have offered help beyond the imaginable with great generosity. Moth sailing has been more of a team experience than anything else I have ever done. It has all just come together as if by magic. Thanks again to all of you.
