The path out of the Strangford lough narrows on the way to the Irish Sea keeps any captain on their toes. With the tide racing almost as fast as the wind and plenty of rocks and depth changes you always have the chance to see some whirlpools while working to windward. The team on J109 GTR watch the waves build as the rudder was whipped from left to right as we past once of the larger whirlpools on the way to the strangford lough bar.
In the last Sydney Hobart Race, Jules Hall and Jan Scholten won the two-handed division in all three handicap systems aboard their J99 Disko Trooper Contender Sailcloth. And if they’d been scored in the fully crewed category, they’d have won overall in ORCi……….Impressive stuff. Their mainsail and jibs were made from Contender Sailcloth’s ZZ Jet Black Aramid laminates.
