There comes a time in every cruiser's life where they will eventually face the need to replace their cutlass bearings. We've dropped our rudders, taken the props off (BYE BYE!), and the shafts out. The shafts are really important not to damage, scratch or knick in way away so both shafts have been cradled like precious babies and stored in a safe, secure area on cushioning. Once all of that was done, it was time to get the Cutlass Bearings out. This week's episode on YouTube we are covering: Why cutlass bearings need to be replaced When to replace them HOW to get the cutlass bearing out WITHOUT SWEARING LIKE A SAILOR 😂 The link to this week's episode is in the comments below: • • • #sailing #sailboat #liveabroad #sailboatliving #boatlife #Boating #travellife #travel #worldtravelers #sailinglife #sailors #sailinglovers #sailingyacht #belowdeck #lifeatsea #sailinggirls #sailaway #travelcommunity #traveltips #tinyhome #smallhome #sailingadventure #adventureseeker #adventure #ycass #bucketlisters #adventuretime
It was more like dodgem cars than yacht racing at the first mark of the Craobh to Oban passage race WHYW 2023. The team on the J109 GTR got themselves out of a tight spot by forcing the boat on the port lay line to duck them about 7 or 8 boat lengths from mark. They were then caught out by the fast flowing tide which pushed them well below the lay line. While the racing was tight everyone was playing fair either tacking or gybing there way out of the possible pile up while keeping clear. This is until the last boat on in the line on the port layline came steaming with no overlap at the thee boat lengths to shove it in at the top mark. The team on GTR decided it was better to play in safe on a long race, rounding up to avoid a collision. Sadly the boat which was in another class did not do circles choose instead to sail on as if nothing had happened. 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.
