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.

As the wind and waves increased it is a wet ride for the jib trimmer down to leeward on our Mumm 36 racing yacht. As the spray pounds into his face it is all eyes on the leach of the sail, making minor lots of adjustments to allow the skipper to carve through the waves while keeping the speed on. The Mumm 36 loved the breeze and when she was setup correctly with lots of mast bend in the breeze she could power through most conditions without having to put a reef in the main. Continual minor trim adjustments where needed to keep the boat in the groove and make life easy for the skipper need to be in in tune with the changes to sail the boat fast. The team at bottom up boats loved the Mumm and the fun we had while racing her as hard as we could on strangford lough and beyond.

Others are felt. Arrive by air, greeted by waters so vivid they seem unreal - the Bahamas = at their most sublime. A world crafted for the few who don't just chase dreams... they live them.@yachtbold
