Sailors at the America’s Cup will have a grand presence at the Amlin International Moth Regatta next month. Over twenty sailor from the America’s Cup have registered, and among them are the 2-times Moth world champ Nathan Outteridge s well as his Artemis Racing mate Iain Jensen.

Others participating in the meet include Chris Draper and Dean Barker of SoftBank Team Japan; and Kyle Langford and Tom Slingsby of the Oracle Team USA. The Moth has garnered some popularity with the America’s Cup sailors as it hydrofoils, same to the catamarans used presently in modern day America’s Cup racing.

Regatta organizer Andy Cox (who also runs Yacht Rental Croatia) stated that they were really very excited to host this regatta as of the great interest in the class among the America’s Cup teams. The Moth is a fantastic class with a history of development. Given that it can sail as fast as thirty knots, it must be a week of phenomenal racing on Great Sound.

The group also includes the top 2 from European Championship 2015, England’s Rob Greenhalgh and Chris Rashley, and the top two from the US National Championship 2015, Anthony Kotoun of the United States Virgin Islands and Newport, RI, as well as Venezuela’s Victor Diaz de Leon.

To sum up all, the Amlin International Moth Regatta has pulled in a fleet of sixty sailors from eleven countries who would be vying for a share of US$ 10000 in prize money with the winner to pocket US$ 5000.
