EARLY MOTH SAIL NUMBERS Compiled by Richard Gibson As at 16 August 2021 1018 boats listed This spreadsheet is set up to capture early Australian Moth sail numbers from the national system in use from 1928 to 1961, and the state-based system in use from 1961 until mid-1973. I have recorded numbers from club registers, regatta entries, photos and comments on the Scow Moth Club and Scow Moth and Lowriders pages on Facebook. Additions, alterations and other comments are always welcome to [email protected]. I am always very pleased to receive copies of any records with boat number information. # Name Skipper Club Exists State Type Notes 1 Olive L Morris x Vic Ref J Fairfax FB Scow Moth Club/Bob Parry article Olive Jack Newey Vic 1932-33 Nationals winner 2 Whoopee William Gidney Vic Ref J Fairfax FB Scow Moth Club/Bob Parry article 3 Flutterby L Morris Vic Ref J Fairfax FB Scow Moth Club/Bob Parry article 4 Roamer/Marina Jim Newton Vic Ref J Fairfax FB Scow Moth Club/Bob Parry article 5 Twin William Johnson Vic Bob Parry article 6 Toinette R Drysdale?
