Alfred Mylne may have peaked when he designed the River Class over 100 years ago. The beautify old ladies of the lough make the Bottom Up Boats crew smile every time we glide by them on the race course. Her lines are timeless with her big boom holding out a main that powers her along in any conditions. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying some of the sort clips from our 2025 racing season. Not long now until the boats are in the water once again. Bring on the 2025 summer of sailing.

This is the new solar panel support option! It allows for 6 370W LG panels to be placed aft of the rigging blocks located on the cockpit roof. I believe this option is only available when going for the "ES" (Extended Scoop) model/option, as that model has more buoyancy aft. The two panels that are in front of the four you can see are mounted athwartship (sideways), which opens up more access to the boom and also makes those panels less likely to be shaded by the boom or mainsail. In addition to the above, it also provides shade/protection for the tender. These supports are made from carbon fiber and then fiberglassed and carbon fibered onto the coach roof and each can support a person hanging from them. Mira is being built with these supports and a total of 8 370W panels. The additional two will be mounted forward on the coach roof; one on the port side, one on the starboard.
