Since undertaking the major reframing operation whilst on the slipway, we have now relaunched Hawila and are very happy to be afloat once again! The planks have been slowly taking up and the seams are now tight. We have been busy fairing the inside of the frames to accept the ceiling planks and bilge stringers, which will help to produce the rigidity of the ship fore and aft. Fairing is to shape the frames by planing and sanding to produce a fair and even curve and allows us to fasten the ceiling plank tightly to the surface of the frames. Having completed the fairing in the bow, our team wasted no time in hanging the first ceiling plank. The oak plank is steamed for two hours to make it sufficiently pliable so that it can be bent into shape and fastened to the frames. Once fixed, it adds rigidity to the fore and aft strength of the ship.

We are currently working on the refit of our sailing vessel Hawila. This structural overhaul will make her fit for the first Transatlantic crossing. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products as well as trainees across the Atlantic, in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible. This work is possible thanks to people like you investing in shares! Learn more: https://www.hawila.org/cooperative/#share

Watch as our quarter tonner yacht struggles to maintain control in heavy wind conditions during the Frosties Regatta 2025 on Strangford Lough. The sailing team on board the 1/4 tonner are put to the test as they attempt to navigate the challenging downwind sailing route, but unfortunately, the boat broaches, resulting in a dramatic loss of control. This sailing fail is a great example of the importance of proper boat handling and downwind techniques, especially when sailing a quarter tonner yacht in heavy wind. The team from Bottom Up Boats are no strangers to yacht racing and yacht maneuvering, but even they are not immune to the occasional sailing mistake. As a sailor, it's essential to be prepared for any situation that may arise on the water, and this video showcases the unpredictability of sailing on Strangford Lough. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in quarter ton sailing, quarter ton yachting, and sailboat racing. The IRC rated quarter tonner yacht is a popular choice for many sailors, and this video demonstrates the challenges and rewards of sailing such a boat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the thrilling footage of our 1/4 tonner in action on the water.
