J109 Going to Red gliding by GBR 7737 from the IRC 0 fleet during Volvo Cork Week 2024. The crew on the downwind boat was calm as the boats converged, making only a small adjust to ensure they stay clear. Shortly after the close cross it was time to take on the lay line and get after the leaders of the IRC1 race who had got the jump on the redline racing team at the start. Let us know in the comments if you like these skipper 4a minute videos, the team at bottom up boats are always looking to learn what are views are interested in so we can make more of the content for you to get your teeth into. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoy these shorts bits from our 2024 racing season. The good news is it is not long now until the 2025 season kicks into gear.

Things are happening fast! Looking at some local boats and there are some possibilities. However, something interesting has happened. I’ve connected with a friend who has a super-interesting story of a boat already on the west coast. We’re off on a road-trip tomorrow to Washington state to have a look! Main videos are in production. We’ll upload them weekly as we move along. Hit that subscribe button…you’ll want to see this journey I’m on.

Giorno 20 - SICILIA (ancora) I giorni fermi in porto stanno per saturare le dita di una mano e questo può voler dire una cosa sola: trepidazione. Quando partiamo? Mi accorgo che desidero ripartire perché le docce della marina, luoghi dove solitamente i diportisti trascorrono fugaci momenti del loro soggiorno, ai miei occhi non hanno più segreti e ormai le conosco così bene che posso scegliere in quale andare, a seconda di quanta acqua calda voglio. Iniziamo a sentirci fuori posto qui, come i miei piedi dentro alle crocs di Andrea. Come il sacchetto in acqua. Comodi ma nel posto sbagliato. Non fraintendeteci, restare in porto è stata una nostra scelta e lo spirito di questo viaggio è proprio di accogliere ciò che arriva, che sia tempesta, che sia bonaccia. Per fortuna questa sera il vento ci dà un po’ di tregua, così ne approfittiamo per fare quella grigliatina che pregustiamo da giorni. ❤️ Se tutto va per il verso giusto, domani dovremmo rimetterci in viaggio verso Trapani, dove tra qualche giorno verrà a trovarci un caro amico. Non vediamo l’ora di riprendere il viaggio!! 💪 A domani AC

► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
