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. So, after the ‘lost year of 2021’ it was great 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 fall electric RIB
How a 60+ year old boat can beat the carbon hot shots in its own class
Why America’s Cup crew Freddie Carr admitted to’ Geeking out in his anorak’
How an exciting skiff class has reinvented itself
…and lots more
