From mothworlds.org:

The Zhik 2011 International Moth World Championships will feature some of the World's best sailors on their home turf. Included in the high calibre fleet will be 3-time Laser World Champion Tom Slingsby and current Moth European Champion Nathan Outteridge. Born and bred on the New South Wales central coast, Outteridge will be keen to claim the Moth World Championship to add to his swag of titles. However, he will not go unchallenged, "To some extent I feel I have home waters advantage, I've spent my life sailing on the lake. It's a great place to sail. There are many people who could win the worlds." Past world champs John (Harris), Bora (Gulari) and Simon (Payne) come to mind straight away and no doubt there will be a handful of other top sailors who are new to the class like Tom Slingsby. I think it will be a close fought regatta and I am really looking forward to it."
