The International Moth is an eleven foot, high performance, single handed racing dinghy. As a development class, the class rules give the designer and builder the fullest liberty in design and construction to develop and produce faster boats.  The class has very few design rules and therefore encourages innovation in design as much as it does sailing skill.

It should come as no surprise, therefore that the Class welcomes home boat building and wacky designs, and almost importantly, we welcome unconventional people with open arms.
