This repository collects the SLINO design files and community discussion surrounding the experimental Perverted Moth sailing dinghy project.
The SLINO was a home-built International Moth concept — a carbon and foam “plate moth” constructed from router-cut panels and frames, assembled on an MDF jig. The project and build logs were originally shared on Sailing Anarchy Forums :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} and the Perverted Moth Blog.
