Thanks to Simon Payne for putting us onto this trailer teaser for ‘The Moth Project’. While the America’s Cup likes to compare itself to F1, the International moth, with its ability to foil and sail at incredible speeds, must be the equivalent of MotoGP.
Forget two-hulls – these contenders for the world’s best sailors on the world’s fastest boats almost make any hull redundant.
Payne, who is an Brand Ambassador for Italian sports-car brand Abarth, was one of the first people to make the switch to the exciting kind of sailing. To watch on iPad click here
Quotes from ‘The Moth Project’
Simon Payne says in the trailer for the upcoming film:
The first thing I noticed was the complete lack of sound when I ‘lifted off’, it was like someone had placed earmuffs on me as I left the water. It is quite a special feeling to be able to fly like that. I thought, I have to be part of that.
Even after all these years of sailing a hydro-foiler, my heart is beating just a little faster, knowing that I’m going to be kinda grabbing the shirt-tails of god as he goes past – sending my little boat hurtling towards the horizon.
The Moth Project is coming soon…..
