Build and sail you Moth – 2017/2018

Classic Moth Boats are a class of small, fast single handed racing sailboats that originated in the US in 1929. The Classic Moth Boat is an ideal class for amateur builders and can be easily built from inexpensive materials. For these reasons Ultramarine conceptualized the idea of build-and-sail your boat. Ultramarine provided the plans, material and expertise in boat building to a group of enthusiasts from Pondicherry Sailing Association to build their own Moth and then race them. Ultramarine is currently assisting eight individuals in the Moth building project to start construction of the International Moth.
