1st November 5pm Update – 3 Hours into the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Race The fleet is settling into Bass Strait, enjoying flat seas and 15 knots from the south in what has been termed "peachy conditions." Leading the fleet are MRV and eXtasea, with the fleet staying just east of the rhumb line. In an interview at 4pm, Rod Smallman on Maverick predicted that those who pick the right time to tack may have the advantage, as they await a wind change later tonight. He went on to suggest that it could turn out to be a small boat race for handicap honors given the predicted conditions, though tactics will play a large part. The fleet is closely packed, with each tracker update giving everyone a chance at the handicap win. Keep an eye on the tracker https://race.bluewatertracks.com/2024-melbourne-to-devonport-rudder-cup and enjoy whilst we wait for the wind to change the interview with Rod Smallman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKb4a8r4e7M

The Mat1010 Elixir hunts down the J109 GTR shortly after the stare of the deciding race 3 in the annual Narrows Series on Strangford Lough. With the wind running straight up the narrows and the tide moving faster than it at times it was key to keep some speed up so that you did not loose steerage. Elixir was ducking and weaving to find a gap and punched through into the lead shortly after this clip. She stretched out a solid lead before GTR pulled back time after setting the Code Zero on Leg 4 of the race. This sail choice was game changer which gave Going to Red the win in race 3 and the overall series. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you enjoyed this short clip for a great weekend of Yacht Racing.
