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.
