This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.
The Crew of GTR along with the help of the expert crane driver from Beaties Crain's Belfast make stepping the mask and lifting the boat in look easy. One strap just above the balance point of the mast hooked onto the lift clip and the mast is stepped before you know it. It is then up and away before sailing away. The team at bottom up boats can not wait to bring you all the on the water action from the 2024 season.
