Here is an update on the sewing project 🔊 Five days in, and the cockpit enclosure is really starting to take shape! ✂️🪡 This week, we finished cutting all the fabric, sewed in (almost) all the windows, and added zippers to the bimini for a proper fit. The sprayhood is also coming together—we rigged up a rope system through the cove molding (am I even saying it right???) to help tension it. Next week: another test fitting! Stay tuned to see how it all comes together. 🫣🤞
J109 GTR beating up the shore to stay out of the tide shortly after the start of the Harbour Race of Cork Week 2024. With over 100 boats on the start line everyone was fighting for air shortly after the start, with the tide coming in all day it paid to get right early to find both clear air and some relief from the stronger tide out in the main channel. The skipper on RS 21 Dark and Stormy was not happy with the call as they wanted to head in further, we are glad they tacked when they did as we got down to less the 3 feet under the keel shortly after the tack. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024
