This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.

Some seriously good North Channel sailing on the west coast of Scotland. Windy, lively conditions and proper boat handling throughout. A solid look at what sailors can expect in this stretch of water when the breeze picks up. #NorthChannel #SailingScotland #WestCoastScotland #GoWestSailing #SailingUK #YachtHandling #ScottishSailing #SailingAdventure #RYAtraining
