Recently we completed a a rare GEM đ of a Point Defiance, with some custom woodwork that we just had to capture on camera. Still photos didn't do it justice, so we took walkaround video to show it in all its glory. This boat has now sold, but we wanted to capture its jaw-dropping custom wood inlay seats for posterity. Built with extensive customizations, this sailboat features lightweight kevlar composite construction, wood trim with decorative rope bumper, deep "endeavor blue" gelcoat stripe with gold and white pinstriping, and incredible detailing on the custom wood seats. Just look at that custom "swirl" woodwork around the mast step! The 12' Point Defiance is a versatile sailing and rowing boat, very forgiving and a true pleasure to row and sail. It works well as a ship-to-shore tender, but is also a fantastic knockabout daysailer in its own right. For more about the Point Defiance, visit https://www.ghboats.com/our-boats/12-point-defiance/
The Mat1010 Elixir hunts down the J109 GTR shortly after the stare of the deciding race 3 in the annual Narrows Series on Strangford Lough. With the wind running straight up the narrows and the tide moving faster than it at times it was key to keep some speed up so that you did not loose steerage. Elixir was ducking and weaving to find a gap and punched through into the lead shortly after this clip. She stretched out a solid lead before GTR pulled back time after setting the Code Zero on Leg 4 of the race. This sail choice was game changer which gave Going to Red the win in race 3 and the overall series. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you enjoyed this short clip for a great weekend of Yacht Racing.
