McDougall-McConaghy, the partnership that designed, builds and distributes the dominant Mach2 Moth are to be the title sponsor for this year’s Moth World Championships hosted by Kaneohe Yacht Club, in Hawaii in October 2013.
Andrew
McDougall says “
We have a tradition of helping out at Moth World Championships where
we provide on-site servicing for the sailors, and its great to be in
a position to invest still further in the class we love. The Moth
class has quickly become the darling of the sailing world with a
wonderful mix of people from Olympic sailors thru Americas Cup, to
the solid guys and girls who sail day in, day out and are just as
passionate about the Moth as we are. It’s a wonderful mix, and for
us the highlight of any year”.
With
the event following on just after the Americas Cup, this coming Moth
World Championships could see the most diverse and talented line up
of sailors ever seen in one class, and the beautiful Kaneohe Yacht
club provides the perfect stage for such dramatic play.
Jono
Morris of McConaghy reflects “We’ve
built over 300 Mach2’s at our Zhuhai plant in China. It has been
our privilege to watch them occupy the top positions at all World
Championships since 2009. Our founder John McConaghy built and sailed
Moths and to this day we remain committed to building the fastest
Moths and leading development. We are delighted to be able to
contribute to the success of this coming regatta. We wish all
competitors the very best of luck”.
With
up to 100 Moths from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan, the US,
and elsewhere expected to descend on Kaneohe Yacht club, USA Moth
Class President and event organiser Matt Knowles is excited -
“Everything
is coming together for a great event. With its flat waters and solid
trade winds, Kaneohe Bay might be the best venue in the world for
Moth racing. A number of the best sailors in the world will be
attending, and we’re going to put on a great show. It will be
fantastic to work with McDougall-McConaghy to support our event –
we’re looking forward to a top-notch regatta.”
