There was plenty of close racing in the 2023 Narrows series on Strangford Lough. With the breeze moderating after the Bar Buoy race was cancelled and Saturday's big blow things were a lot calmer in the back half of the regatta. J109 Going to Red was in a close battle with a couple of sport boats in the race out of the narrows. The first one was close and the second closer again as they just made the cross on port tack. The boats zigged and and zagged there way out of the narrows to say in the strongest tide with several more close crosses in what turned out to be a close battle between the boats. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying the sort bits of our close crosses from the 2023 season.
Great footage off Mallorca... This Garcia 48 Catamaran weighs over 23 Tons! "It works perfectly on a 23 tons aluminum cat - GARCIA 48, entered in the next WORLD ARC" And a later report: "This week we tested the GARCIA with 25 knots wind from behind - excellent with your XT vane !!!!!!" Note the Extended Heading Tube (often recommended for Catamarans to get the Vane up even higher). The video also shows our Watt&Sea bracket (attached to the Hydrovane Shaft). Pretty cool stuff...
