Sort of anticlimactic that BobbyK is taking all the footage with him to South Africa, but the CCZ hit the water today in true homebuild fashion, foiling around in spotty breeze until one of the sketchy micropress fittings gave up. Solid performance for a boat whose only dolly is a car! Maybe BKNA will take pity and send a photo! Rumors of a CCZ blog abound, but talk is cheap! So maybe I will get some stuff to post. But don't count on it.
In any event a huge day for the San Pedro Bay Moth Fleet as there are now three functional Moths at ABYC; we would call ourselves the Alamitos Bay Moth Fleet but the cops won't let us sail in Alamitos Bay, which is fine as long as they keep coming outside to get us when our masts break! SBMF. Why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute? San Pedro Institute of Neophytes Sailing Tiny Esoteric Runabouts, or SPINSTER.
Anyway, that's it. Congratulations Nat, well done.

I agree, congratulations. To start from scratch and get on ( and out) of the water is a real accomplishment.

Its a great achievement, it floats, it foils, so good onya! There are three of us, fleets and cults all start this way! Looking to see if we cant pull some more people into buying Moths and joining SPINSTER

Ok BK but where are they? Maybe you could email a few...
Nat has them all on our server at work. Internet in Cape Town is really slow...
And he has some on chinchillazilla.blogspot.com

We like the stealth blog.
Bobby, if you are still in Cape Town give me a call on my mobile, 0836582659. We have a few Bladeriders here.

He's back here in California now; rumor has it CCZ#2 will be on the water by the end of November.
