🇬🇧Due to trauma, I had lost myself but by staying positive, I grew unnoticed to where I am today. Last year, instead of spontaneously going out with friends for two days, I would stay at home and be there for my youngest who by now actually likes having the boat to herself. Being a mother. After the death of my husband, I didn't allow myself to be Vita as well. But that is changing now, unnoticed and it feels good. Damn good! If I want to live life again, I also have to live ‘Vita’ and learn that this is not selfish but makes me a better mother. 🇳🇱Door trauma's was ik mijzelf kwijt maar door positief te blijven ben ik ongemerkt gegroeid tot waar ik vandaag sta. Vorig jaar zou ik niet spontaan twee dagen met vrienden meegaan maar thuisblijven en er voor mijn jongste zijn die inmiddels eigenlijk het juist lekker vind om de boot voor haarzelf te hebben. Moeder zijn. Na het overlijden van mijn man gunde ik het mijzelf niet om ook Vita te zijn. Maar daar zit nu verandering in , ongemerkt en dat voelt goed. Als ik het leven weer wil leven dan moet ook 'Vita' leven en leer dat ik dit niet egoïstisch is maar dat het mij juist een betere moeder maakt. @hellyhansen @hellyhansensailing

There was plenty of close racing in the 2023 Narrows series on Strangford Lough. With the breeze moderating after the Bar Buoy race was cancelled and Saturday's big blow things were a lot calmer in the back half of the regatta. J109 Going to Red was in a close battle with a couple of sport boats in the race out of the narrows. The first one was close and the second closer again as they just made the cross on port tack. The boats zigged and and zagged there way out of the narrows to say in the strongest tide with several more close crosses in what turned out to be a close battle between the boats. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying the sort bits of our close crosses from the 2023 season.

Transforming a classic yacht is no easy feat, but the seamless blend of old and new in the forward quarters and galley is nothing short of incredible. Gone is the clunky full wall, replaced by a beautifully designed open space, featuring exquisite custom woodwork and stunning glass panels. The color palette harmonizes perfectly, showcasing the iconic Chris Craft Red stain. Experience how every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to maintain the classic essence while enhancing functionality. This journey of restoration not only pays homage to the yacht's heritage but elevates it to an entirely new level of elegance. #ClassicYacht #RestorationJourney #InteriorDesign #YachtLife #Woodwork #ChrisCraft #MarineDesign #SeamlessTransformation #shorts
