OVERVIEW

The Thinair V2 is part of the International Moth Class. The Thinair V2 is the predecessor to the orignal Thinair designed by Dave Hollam with technical input all the way from Mike Lennon, Lennon High Performance Boats. In 2020 the Thinner was bought by White Formula UK. This lead to the launch of the new and improved Thinair V2 which delivers continuous improvement on an already impressive design. Everything from the hull, the gantry, the foils and even the wings has been made lighter, stiffer and stronger than ever before.

DESIGN

The Thinair V2 utilises the most modern materials. It has upgraded to a fully pre-preg construction using high modulus and ultra-high modulus carbon fibre. 

This maintains structural integrity whilst vastly lowering hull weight. We continue this approach throughout the build including the wing bars, gantry and foils, all now produced using state of the art processes and cured at a high temperature using our in-house oven. 

Although much of this is unseen there are subtle visual changes too. The new trampoline design allows easy movement of mainsheet positions to accommodate the newer generation of decksweepers. We have worked closely with market leaders in carbon manufacturing to develop new cloths and improve the performance of the entire platform. 

There are also other small changes that would be noticed if closely inspected. These include a new bowsprit design, prodder spec, re designed king post mount and a new tougher paint, just to name a few. 

HOW ITS BUILT

The Thinair project utilises the best professionals, tools and materials in a large state-of-the-art facility on the East coast of the UK. The experience, material selection and the latest build techniques result in a structure that is lighter, stiffer, stronger and very reliable.

We know Moth control systems need to work. Thats why we finish the boats to a standard Moth sailors will understand.

THE COMMUNITY

The Thinner is part of the world renown moth class with an establish global community of sailors. The class has a events all over the world which attract a lots of like minded sailors that just want to go fast.
