The ride out of the Narrows of Strangford Lough to the Irish Sea always makes me simile. Racing out with wind against tide can make for some serious lump at the bar mouth so the crew always has to be ready to react as the boat bounced up and over the waves. The lump as not as bad as expect during the exit of the 2022 South Rock Race, the J109 Going to Red had its first offshore hit out against Hindsight and came through with flying colours. The boys were hitting 9 knots with a strong push of outgoing tide as the raced toward the Bar Buoy before taking the left turn to head up the coast to the South Rock. The team on redline racing harding skipped a beat as they bounced off the top of a couple of short share waves. The trip back in should be a lot flatter as wind and tide will be heading in the same direction. As always the South Rock race was a load of fun, there is nothing like getting out for an offshore bash. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you are enjoying our shorts bits of some our racing trips as our J109 went bouncing over the strangford lough bar during the 2022 South Rock Race.
