Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It is a place of great beauty as well as being a fun place to sail for cruisers and racers alike. The tides are strong due to the large volume of water that races in and out of the narrows between Portaferry and Strangford every 12 hours. Mastering the tides is a key to getting where you want to be as fast as possible. If you get it wrong you will end up going backwards in seconds. It is always great when someone takes footage of you boat from afar, this drone footage was taken James Curran as GTR works towards on the Narrows on her way to the Irish sea during the 2019 race from East Down Yacht Club to the Isle of Mann. It was a great days racing with GTR just making the crossing before the time limit prevented other boats from recording a finish in the IRC 1 class.

Starling Burgess got it so right with his 1928 design for the 59ft staysail schooner NIÑA. When her present owners decided to build a replica in 2004, the only change was to the construction method - strip plank rather than traditional plank of frame. Burgess's hull and rig design were sensibly faithfully reproduced resulting in one of the most perfect blue water cruisers for her size imaginable.
