Two years on Hi. ⛵️ Two years that challenged us, stretched us, and opened us up in ways we didn’t expect. It’s been beautiful. And hard. And completely worth it. Some days felt like two weeks. Others like five years. We’ve had unforgettable highs – and some very real lows. One of the biggest lessons? This life triggers everything. Our perfectionism. Our need for control. Our idea of “how things should be.” And that doesn’t make it easier – but it makes it honest. It shows us who we really are. And what we’re ready to let go of. We’ve fixed things, broken things, tried things, and left things behind. We’ve learned.We’ve grown.And our love? It’s deeper than ever – even when it’s messy. Are we fully there yet? Maybe. Maybe not.But we’re a whole lot closer to ourselves than when we started. And most days, we stop, take a deep breath, and say:“This life... it’s not a given. It’s a gift.” Two years. One boat. One ever-evolving, imperfect, beautiful us. Thanks to everyone who has been with us on the journey so far! ❤️ #boatlife #sailing #liveaboard #sailinglife #sailingcouple #patandfrankie #sailingboat

Watch as our quarter tonner yacht struggles to maintain control in heavy wind conditions during the Frosties Regatta 2025 on Strangford Lough. The sailing team on board the 1/4 tonner are put to the test as they attempt to navigate the challenging downwind sailing route, but unfortunately, the boat broaches, resulting in a dramatic loss of control. This sailing fail is a great example of the importance of proper boat handling and downwind techniques, especially when sailing a quarter tonner yacht in heavy wind. The team from Bottom Up Boats are no strangers to yacht racing and yacht maneuvering, but even they are not immune to the occasional sailing mistake. As a sailor, it's essential to be prepared for any situation that may arise on the water, and this video showcases the unpredictability of sailing on Strangford Lough. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in quarter ton sailing, quarter ton yachting, and sailboat racing. The IRC rated quarter tonner yacht is a popular choice for many sailors, and this video demonstrates the challenges and rewards of sailing such a boat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the thrilling footage of our 1/4 tonner in action on the water.

When you grow up surrounded by commercial fishing boats, you develop a very deep, sincere and genuine respect for these types of vessels. As a schoolboy, I used to watch fisherman head out to sea in some dreadful conditions...Some were lost at sea...Which is one of the reasons why, decades later, I volunteered for the RNLI in one of the busiest coastal S&R stations in the UK...If you love trawler, expedtion and explorer style motor yachts, then head to the link in my bio!
