The crew on the J109 Going to Red showed how clockwork crew work keeps up your boat speed as you change sails and round a mark. Coming into race the top mark of race 3 of the annual narrows regatta on Strangford Lough the team was overlayed with the kite setup on the wrong side of a gybe set. The team recovered with some clockwork crew work which turned out to be faster than a gybe set. The team did a lightening set on the approach to the mark, quickly getting the jib down and setting up for a gybe where they only lost the kite for a couple of second. The exceptional crew work allowed the team to stretch out their lead going ton to tack the victory and the overall series. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying these quick clips from the 2024 racing season with the days getting longer it will not be too long until the boats is back in the water so we can start making more memories as part of the 2025 season.

Sometimes all it takes is a splash of cold water to reset your mind. In this off-grid moment from the edge of Japan, I share a simple nightly ritual — a recycled PET bottle, a roadside breeze, and a reminder that creativity often flows best when we stop trying so hard. It’s not about luxury. It’s about resetting — physically, mentally, creatively. Whether it’s a walk, a cold rinse, or just looking up from your screen, find your way to recalibrate. Because clarity rarely arrives on a schedule. Subscribe for more slow living insights, sailing life reflections, and longevity wisdom from the coastlines of Japan. #author #sailing #boatlife
