Moth
The International Moth is an eleven foot long, high performance, single handed racing dinghy

NS14
A high performance 14ft, two person dinghy. As the boat does not have a spinnaker or trapeze, yet retains high performance, it is ideal for parent/parent/child combinations of skipper and forwardhand.  The minimum weight and age rules do not allow for individual advantage in these areas.

The minimum hull weight of 64kg (150 pounds) is light enough for easy on shore sailing, whilst the ample buoyancy allows the boat to be righted and sailing on after a capsize.
The NS14 is not a "one design" class, but is a restricted developed class, which allows variations within its simple restrictions.  Experimentation with proportions of the 9.3 square metres (100 square foot) of sail has produced a highly efficient combination of jib and main sail, which contributes much of this boats amazing performance.

See www.ns14.org for more details.
