I agree with Tim.
I sailed a Moth Nationals in Japan, and chartered a boat. The charter cost
was an Australian Moth T-Shirt.
Before the ragatta I was taken to Disneyland, the Sumo wrestling, plenty of
noodle shops etc etc.After the regatta the Moth guys farmed me out all over
the country at no cost.
Their hospitality and care was embarrassingly good.
I would love to go back.
