Flotsam Throwback Thursday – Moth Regatta 1957 TillermanDecember 20, 20183 comments Tillerman View all posts Friday Flotsam D-Zero, RS21, Yacht Club Signs and Contenders at Garda via Earwigoagin
When I was sailing on the east arm of the Grand Traverse Bay (of Lake Michigan), maybe a mile or so from shore, I was surprised to see a monarch butterfly flutter past me maybe 10 feet or so above the surface of the water. I’ve never seen a moth while sailing, though. Reply
The British Moth is based on an American design from the mid-1930s. Current boats sport an improved rig and more comfortable deck layouts. Reply
