The Bottom Up Crew were a little rusty in there first major racing weekend, with the breeze up and the co-ordination between the crew members slightly off they put there J109 on it side in back to back gybes. The video footage always help with the debrief which enable us to correct our mistakes getting on on point for the rest of the weekend. The less than perfect gybes show how forgiving the J109 is even when the breeze is up. After the broach letting both the sheet and kicker go and putting the wheel hard to leeward is all that you need to get the boat off its ear and heading back in the right direction. The major mistake with both of the gybes was the time it took to get the main sheet across. The delay in getting the main across caused the spinnaker to set too early on the new gybe, without the main creating a wind shadow over it there was too much power in the kit which started the broach up, which was made ever worse once the main flipped across. The second change which may have avoid the broach would have been to quickly ease the new sheet 4 or 5 feet the second the spinnaker filled on the new side, this is the next best thing to reduce the power as the kite sets on the new gybe. The redline racing team dusted themselves off and pushed hard enough across the weekend to end with a 3, 2 and a 1 which was enough the take the overall victory in the annual Strangford Lough Narrows regatta. We hope you got some value out of these back to back gybes, learning what not to do.

Miami brought a full range of conditions for the North-powered fleet at the @m32official Worlds, from light air patience racing to demanding downrange legs. @ryonlife Ryan McKillen's Surge and crew settled in spare. With @taylorwcanfield calling tactics, and @sloughborough, @stewartdodson, and @lukecpayne keeping the boat in sync, Surge showed the value of time on the water. As Mckillen put it, "There's a temptation to chase quick results and make changes early, but | believe in investing time in the guys and getting better together. That's been my approach, and we just showed it works." The fight behind them stayed tight. Cy Thompson kept TUUCI in the mix until the end, and @philrobertsonracing steered ChinaOne.Ningbo onto the final step of the podium. Bobby Julien's Dingbat wrapped up third Corinthian after a week of steady gains. Congratulations to all teams on a strong Worlds. @northsails
