I couldn’t be more proud of my litle girl! Only 9 years old and she is able to produce such beautiful music!
Tamara came 3rd in a local talent show last month and the prize was a session in a studio. Here is the result:
MP3 version (recommended) Colours of the Wind – Titanic
M4A version (iTunes) Colours of the Wind Titanic

One has to look no further than the Moths to see where sailing is heading. Forget giant mulithulls and the America’s cup – to my mind there is nothing more beautiful and exciting than seeing these little dinghies come out of the water and take on an entirely new perspective and speed.
It’s not just that they are so much faster than their water borne siblings – its also the beautifully symetrical balance achieved by canting to windward and allowing the sail and the wind to carry the weight of the crew.
We saw some of this mast cant on the BMW Oracle AC trimaran, and you see it a lot on the ORMA 60s and grand priz multihulls, but nowhere is it quite so obvious and pronounced as in the moth class and of course on the windsurfer – the origin of the concept.
I think mast cant has been restricted on bigger boats because of the physical difficulties in achieving it, and perhaps with this new genre some of these will be addressed to produce an entirely new way to sail fast across oceans on a large boat. Cant wait!
