J109 "Going to Red" beating to windward had a fine line to thread the gap between Cape 31 Shootgun and the Corbt 37 Impetuous on day two of racing of Cork Week 2024. Race 6 ended up being the trickiest race of the day with the wind getting light and variable towards the top mark before a 30 degree shift on the last beat turned the race on it head. The race committee did a good job to finish the IRC 1 boats at the top mark to limit the damage from the variable winds. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024

As the 48th Rolex Fastnet Race moves through its fourth day, the flood of arrivals continues. The window of opportunity for those pursuing overall victory is narrowing and, after four days, crews still at sea are beginning to tire. Finishing well is dependent upon full commitment to performing at the best of one's ability and remaining resolute until the finish. The American yacht Wizard is currently in top spot, but the prevailing characteristic of Rolex Fastnet Race crews is to persevere to the very end, meaning the result remains in the balance. Nearly a century old, the Rolex Fastnet Race remains one the most inspiring and recognizable offshore racecourses in the world. Supported by Rolex since 2001, the race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, and the 2019 race has attracted a record fleet of 388 yachts ready and willing to test themselves against one of the toughest of offshore races.

Yesterday as well as last night was a tricky 24 hrs for Conrad, who has been making slow progress due to a high pressure that appeared in his path. To distract himself and calm his nerves down, he’s made for us a fun advertisement out at sea. A little humour is always good for the morale. 🇫🇷 Les dernières 24 heures ont été un peu délicates pour Conrad, qui progresse lentement en raison d'une haute pression apparue sur son chemin. Pour se distraire et calmer ses nerfs, il nous a concocté une publicité amusante en mer. Un peu d’humour ça fait toujours du bien au moral. 🎬 Subtitles and editing by Natasha Gonzalez @coconutssailteam GO #crazykiwi ! #RDR2022 #RouteduRhum TRACKER 🗺️ www.routedurhum.com Technical Sponsors Already Onboard: @imocaglobeseries @gillmarine @spinlockhq @bolle_eyewear @lyophilise.and.co @onesails
