The finish to Race 3 of the annual Narrows Regatta on Strangford Lough was a quick reach to the finish after the breeze picked up and pivoted 180 degrees. It was next to impossible for the J109 GTR to match it with the VX1 Sports boats which blasted past on the way back to Portaferry. The leading VX1 was in complete control as it fought to stay flat while keeping the spinnaker up to avoid having to drop which would have made for a much slower run to the finish. The J109 GTR could not compete in this race but went on to take the overall series win with a consistent performance across the weekend. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you are enjoying these quick bits from the 2024 racing on Strangford Lough Northern Ireland.

This will be a very powerful yacht, with hull lines designed by Farr Yacht Design to deliver a hugely satisfying sailing experience for the helmsmen, guests and crew. The SW108#01 offers the ease of handling and responsiveness of the helm that are important hallmarks of Southern Wind Yachts. The hull features full waterlines and straight end diagonals, a wide, low transom, and full forward sections, with accurate placement of rig and appendages and precise longitudinal distribution of volume in the topsides. Stay tuned for more updates on the new hybrid addition!
