From the award-winning and world-renowned shipyard, Abeking & Rasmussen, comes the stunning 42.83m ketch sailing yacht, ASGARD. Built in 1993, she has undergone a couple of refits, most notably in 2014 and 2020. The 2014 refit included a completely new beautiful teak deck, major upgrades to the navcom and electrical systems along with a stunning facelift of the interior by illustrious designer, Rhoades Young. The 2020 refit focused on a complete overhaul of the thursters, the main engine, both generators and the gearbox. ASGARD has a strong cold-moulded mahogany hull that has been built to withstand a whole lifetime. Lighter than fibreglass and cheaper than carbon hull constructions, the cold moulding technique relies heavily on epoxy resin to sheath the entire structure to keep the water out. This unique construction gives this ketch an eye-catching design and an incredible performance, combined with a classic appearance. ASGARD is bound to impress with friends and family alike. Complemented by her classic lines with a modern rigg, she is a proven world explorer with incredible sailing performance. Having won the Superyacht Cup and the Spirit of Tradition Class of the Rolex Maxi Worlds, ASGARD is considered a pedigree superyacht. ASGARD’s achievements are also notable considering the involvement of award-winning designers for both her exterior and interior. The acclaimed designer Bruce King worked with the owner in order to develop and build a ship that could cruise the world but also wow at Regattas—a feat complete considering the corners of the world she has visited from Alaska to the South Pacific and New Zealand, along with the races she has won. This doesn’t detract however from the opulence and comfort of the interior designed by Andrew Winch and Rhoades Young. With a classic look interior, impressive and stylish furnishings polished perfectly with Mahogany wood detailing and flooring throughout, ASGARD can accommodate up to ten guests across five pleasant cabins. The Master Cabin is quite the comfort statement, considering it is full beam, and has an ensuite along with a private seating area. Exclusively for sale with C&N.

This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.

☔🛥️ Rainy Days at the Anchorage: A Watery Tale 🛥️☔ Rain, rain, and more rain! The heavens have opened up over the anchorage, drenching everything in sight. My watertank fills up in no time, courtesy of Mother Nature's generous downpour. But the real surprise? Take a look at my dinghy – it's transformed into a mini bathtub, brimming with rainwater! As I watch the rain cascade down, I can't help but marvel at the abundance of water surrounding me. Despite the soggy conditions, there's a sense of wonder and gratitude for nature's bounty. It's a reminder that even on the stormiest days, there's beauty to be found in the simplest of moments. ⚓️ #RainyAnchorage #Nature'sBounty #Soggy ⚓️ ☔🛥️ Regenachtige Dagen voor Anker: Een Waterig Verhaal 🛥️☔ Regen, regen en nog meer regen! De hemel heeft zich geopend boven het ankergebied en alles wordt doorweekt. Mijn watertank vult zich in een mum van tijd, dankzij de overvloedige stortbui van Moeder Natuur. Maar de echte verrassing? Kijk eens naar mijn dinghy - die is veranderd in een klein badkuipje, vol met regenwater! Terwijl ik de regen naar beneden zie stromen, kan ik niet anders dan verwonderd zijn over de overvloed aan water om me heen. Ondanks de natte omstandigheden, is er een gevoel van verwondering en dankbaarheid voor de overvloed van de natuur. Het is een herinnering dat zelfs op de stormachtigste dagen schoonheid te vinden is in de eenvoudigste momenten. ⚓️ #RegenachtigAnkergebied #OvervloedVanDeNatuur #Nat ⚓️ #short
