Europe dinghy, Another Classic Moth

The USA Classic Moth rule uses the International Moth rule as it was up to the early 1970's before the class merged with the Australian Association and allowed wings and a higher aspect sailplan. The Europe dinghy, or, as it was originally known, the Europa, was a Roland Moth design from the 1960's. It was always thought of as the baby Finn. Europe's certainly qualify for Classic Moth racing (other than the Europe one-design sail which has grown too much roach for the Classic Moth rule) and in the U.S several Europes have been absorbed into the Classic Moth class. In Europe, the one-design Europe class remains very strong despite (or because of) the elimination of the class from women's Olympic competition.
