The rejuvenated ALTRICIA, all brightwork glistening on display indoors at the 2016 edition of London International Boat Show, is an abiding memory for many. Not in the spirit of tradition, but of the real deal, a fine representative of the super elegant way we used to go yacht racing and cruising – and still can with the added benefit of modern, ergonomic sail handling systems. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/789/ALTRICIA The penultimate McGruer 8-Metre Cruiser-Racer, ALTRICIA joined this fiercely competitive grand prix class at its swinging sixties zenith, racing against designs by James McGruer, Sparkman & Stephens, and David Boyd, when up to a dozen beautiful forty footers would race hell for leather whatever the weather on the firths and sounds of the West Coast of Scotland. Restored in Cornwall for the 21st Century by her previous, passionate owner, ALTRICIA will take you classic racing in style, safely cruising or offshore in comfort, and in either mode she won’t hang about!

The third passage race of West Highland Yachting week 2022 from Tobermory to Oban once again provided some close racing at the first turning mark. The J109 BlueJay just got across the bow of the second J109 Going to Red. The they were closely followed by the 3rd J109 Salamander who was forced to go wide as the fast charging Sigma 400 Sunrise with no mark room decided to ignore the rules and gybe in side rather than luffing to keep clear. It was a little disappointing that Sunrise failed to do any penalty turns after breaking the rules, karma came to the rescue of the boats who followed the rules as Sunrise's kit wrapped around the forestay which allowed Salamander to luff up under them retaking 3rd place on the long run to Oban. BlueJay showed a clean pair feels leading from start to finish just beating Salamander to win the race, GTR learnt that polars are king when one design racing and learnt the hard way that low and slow is not the way to go when racing a J109 down wind. There was lots of tight racing across the whole week which made for a great regatta in the Scottish Highlands. The team at Bottom Up Boat hope you are enjoying the action from WHYW 2023.
