You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

Killyleagh Yacht Club turned on the weather for the second open event of the the Strangford Lough summer of sailing. With sixteen boats on the starting line for the YTC 1 races there was close racing throughout the whole of the fleet. Race 1 was a close shoot out between the Mat1010 Elixir, J109 GTR and the local A35 for Mike Spence Le Basceleur. With the lead swapping many times both on corrected time and over the water it was Le Basceleur that came out on top closely followed by the Redline Racing team on the J109 GTR. The team at bottom up boats hope that you enjoy this short clip from our 2024 season on the water. Song: Cartoon, Jéja - On & On (feat.
