Check it our for yourself! - https://amzn.to/4iNrN2g When Trent first suggested getting a Milwaukee Stick Transfer Pump for the boat, I honestly thought it was a waste of money. But I’m happy to admit I was completely wrong. We've had massive rainstorms here in St Martin — over 100 gallons of rainwater ended up in our dinghy in just one day. Normally, it would have taken 20+ minutes (and a lot of effort) to bail it out by hand, but with the transfer pump it was emptied in about 3 minutes, no heavy lifting, no drama. The pump runs on the same Milwaukee M12 batteries we already use with our other tools and can be used in other areas of the boat, like the water tanks, bilges and lockers. In our opinion it's definitely one of those tools that saves time, saves effort, and just makes boat life easier. #MilwaukeeTools #BoatLife #ToolReview #LiveaboardLife #SailingGear #DIYBoatProjects Prefer to support the channel as a 1-off?

This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.
