“It was cool to see the reaction and hopefully give them some inspiration to continue pushing themselves and their sailing,” said Wilkinson. “I’d love to see a short course regatta organised for foiling moths here.” On a personal note, the world champion said it has been an up-and- down year for him. “The Olympic class Nacra 17 catamaran that I sail has been upgraded to a fully foiling boat. During the transition, before the new boats were rolled out, I was lucky to be tactician on board the NZ Youth America’s Cup team that placed second in Bermuda.
