Day 4 of the 2026 International Moth Worlds hosted by Mounts Bay SC in Perth, Western Australia.
A second day of strong winds with only the Moth Low Rider fleet getting afloat, completing two races while the high-tech Foiler fleet were kept ashore.
In the Low Rider Global Championship, Paul Hignett of Britain added two more wins to take a 19 point lead after seven races. Second is Australia’s Ben Lawrie with 25 pts and third Brian Walker with 26 pts.
Tim Hancock, the Principal Race Officer, managed two races for the Low Rider Fleet, but the Foilers were kept ashore due to the difficulty with launching in the strong southeasterly conditions.
The Foiler fleet remain at 7 races with leader Enzo Balanger of France on 7 pts, second Ryan Littlechild of Australia with 23 pts, third Richard Didham USA on 24 pts and Jack Bennett of New Zealand fourth with 25 pts.
Final day of racing is Thursday 12 November.
