Published 13:43 on 12 Nov 2026

Huge congratulations to Paul Hignett from Loch Lomond SC who has just won the 2026 International Moth Lowrider World Championship in Mounts Bay (Perth) Western Australia!
Sailing a borrowed Hungry Tiger skiff in a mixed fleet of skiffs and scows, in winds ranging from 2-28 knots, Paul won all 12 races to dominate the results, with a 19 point lead over the second place boat.

In order to keep the older boats competitive in a development class, the Lowrider Moths run a handicap championship alongside the overall results, and Paul won that too by 1 point!

Well done Paul!
