Moth Manufacturers
Beiker
The hull is a comparatively high volume displacement shape, with a rocker profile for easy low ride handling and un-sticky takeoff characteristics. The platform concept minimises aerodynamic drag and heeling moment, with minimal tramp area. Stiff single piece wing beams located in rebated deck sockets maximise effective beam when heeled to windward through a curved, high angled shape. The boat has been designed with a deck-sweeping rig in mind. Building on recent trends in the class, the layout allows for a long deck/sail seal. A concealed control system and control line configuration makes for a clean deck layout. For backward compatibility the boat has also been designed to use a conventional full-height rig. The foils have been engineered to be as stiff and long as modern materials and production processes allow. The boat can fly higher out of the water, and has a larger vertical range to deal with both deceleration during foiling tacks and larger waves downwind. With 3D printed titanium components, the foil section thicknesses have been reduced for minimum drag at sailing altitude. Our horizontals are aggressively high aspect with low wetted area.
Thinnair
The launch of the Thinair V2 delivers continuous improvement on an already impressive design. Everything from the hull, the gantry, the foils and even the wings has been made lighter, stiffer and stronger than ever before. Hull and foils are designed by Dave Hollam with technical input all the way from Mike Lennon. This is a craft designed to compete at the highest level. Bursting with new ideas and up-to-date trends like trampoline tubes that allow easy movement of mainsheet positions, faired pushrod entry, anhedral foils along with new bowsprit, prodder, king post mount and finished in new, tougher paint.
Exocet
The Exocet is built entirely at Maguire Boats in New Milton, Hampshire. It represents the latest high performance Moth, which has culminated in innovative refinements in both hull and foil design that have achieved notable improvements in performance as well as their ease of use. These have emanated from extensive computer modelling, the application of precision CNC tooling, careful material selection, and an exacting attention to construction detail and material layout, resulting in a high quality product that is stiff and robust. Maguire Boats have worked closely with designer Kevin Ellway for over 5 years since the introduction of the Exocet. This close partnership between designer and builder has enabled us to produce a boat which has won the last three World Championships, multiple Europeans and National titles. This work continues as we develop upgrades that can be easily retro fitted to your Exocet, keeping the boats up to date with the latest developments.
