The Astus 20.5 high speed trailer sailer. Top performance trimaran cruising just became affordable! Double the speed of an equivalent size monohull whilst sailing on a super stable platform with massive 930l floats. This trailerable trimaran is easy to launch and recover thanks to telescopic floats which can be extended in minutes! Lightweight construction makes it half the weight of an equivalent monohull, so the Astus 20.5 can be towed behind a small family car. The even lighter 'Infusion' version weighs only 470kg so can be towed on an un-braked trailer. Weekend sailing for 2 adults on a long v-berth with space for a chemical toilet under. 2 smaller quarter berths for children or adults who want to get cosy. The Astus 20.5 is available for viewing and trial sailing at Boats on Wheels in Hampshire, UK. We look forward to seeing you soon!

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.
