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

Hab zu meinem 17ten eine LAN-Party veranstalten wollen. Aber es ist leider nicht so gelaufen wie geplant und ich bin von manchen enttäuscht. Trotzdem war der B-Day einfach nur GEIL, auch, wenn wir bei 10°C in der Garage gezockt haben ^^

Gunboats are built to move. Here's a quick look at the range including the new addition - a Gran Turismo catamaran. ▫️ "Sail Fast. Live Fully". That's the new mantra at Gunboat where they are developing a new line of luxury performance yachts: the Fusion 80. She's designed so performance and comfort do not compete but rather reinforce each other.  ▫️ How Have They Achieved That? ▫️ The Fusion 80 has been engineered to outperform its volume class by ~30%. They have achieved this through: - High-aspect appendages. A stiff, lightweight composite platform - Optimised hydrodynamics by VPLP Low friction, efficient hull forms - A large, balanced sail plan (310m2 upwind) Less weight (25T) = more wind unlocked ▫️ The Fusion 80 sails in 6-8 knots of breeze where heavy cruisers motor. ▫️ Longer sailing windows, quieter passages, less motoring. ▫️ We're looking forward to seeing this one on the water! ▫️ #luxury #yacht #gunboat72 #gunboat68 @GUNBOATCATAMARANS

Week 5 of the season ending Frosties Regatta at Strangford Lough Yacht would bring racing for 2023 to an end. The crews were greeted with with 8 to 12 knots of breeze and sunshine on a cool autumn afternoon. The J109 Going To Red already crowned the Frosties Champion for 2023 the were left to race around on their own. The team on J109 GTR pushed hard with Ella at the helm, testing themselves by trying to race down the IRC2 fleet which started 5 minutes ahead of them on the race course.. GTR took a wide birth at the bottom mark which allowed them to hook up inside 4 boats at the bottom mark, this gave them clear air to tack out to what proved to be the favoured right hand side of the course going up the last beat. After Lee bowing a sigma 33 they were clear to tack and finish of the season on a high. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you liked this video and it encourages you to want watch more. It you like the Time Lapse format be sure to let us know in the comments so we know to make more of these race reviews.
