This versatile knot can be used to join two lines of different dimensions, like a heaving line to a large mooring line. Or instead of tying two bowlines, a sheet bend is quick and easy and does not jam.

This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.

Greece is looking like a very good idea this summer. With plenty of direct flights into Athens, and warm weather stretching long into the season, getting there feels refreshingly straightforward again. Once you arrive, the real magic begins. Island hopping under sail, swimming in clear turquoise bays, wandering whitewashed harbour towns and settling into the slower rhythm that Greece does so well. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed catamaran charter, a hands-on sailing yacht adventure, a private boat for friends and family, or an individual berth aboard a shared voyage, we’ve got a wide range of ways to explore the Greek islands from the water. Take a look at our Greece sailing holidays and find the voyage that feels right for you this summer.
