With that sun shinning, flat water and a gentle breeze it was easy for the J109 to Going to Red to cut close behind the sterns of a couple of Impala 28 who where locked in a close battle of their own. Judging the speed of both your own yacht and the yachts around you is key to every skippers race management as in many cases the closer you can get to yachts which are in other races and and often in the way the less ground you will give up to you competitors in your own race. Going to Red did not look back in this race and lead from start to finish in tricky conditions for the SLYC Regatta. With the wind flicking up and and down and from left to right for most of the afternoon the whole crew needed to be on their toes to ensure they keep the boat moving and in clear air.

The clove hitch Along with the bowline and the sheet bend, it is often considered one of the most important knots to know. A clove hitch is two successive half-hitches around an object. It is most effectively used as a crossing knot. It can be used as a binding knot, but is not particularly secure in that role (we prefer the constrictor knot for these use cases). A clove hitch made around the rope's own standing part is known as either two half-hitches or buntline hitch, depending on whether the turns of the clove hitch progress away from or towards the hitched object. The Clove Hitch is the simplest and most effective knot for securing your fenders. It can be tied in seconds, is relatively easy to undo which makes it simple enough to adjust the hight as you approach the marina. follow the link below for a full demo. https://youtu.be/q2YetRQGFRM We hope you enjoyed todays bottom up boats know knots shorts video where we showed you the clove hitch in seconds.
