And it was another one of those bad news days. After pulling up the deck on the outside we realised that the wood rot got into the samson post right on deck level. After poking a knife into the samson post to determine how far along the wood rot has gone (hoping we could safe the samson post) we quickly realised that it's rotten almost halfway through and it was a hard decision, I do have to admit it took a bit of convincing, I really wanted to save the old post, I really didn't want another project, it's all getting a bit overwhelming lately, like what the hell was I thinking, buying a timber boat... But yeah the boat builder and a few other friends did talk some sense into me, it is probably not the safest idea to moor your boat on a half rotten post. So here we go, winching the old post out to use it as a template to make a new one :) IG: @ yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

The skipper on Going to Red splits the gap between one boat racing to windward and another running down wind in his J109 in the third weekend of racing at the season ending Frosties Regatta out of SLYC on the lovely strangford lough. The early October weather as simply stunning with 8 to 14 knots push the boats around the two races which were held on a perfect day for sailing on the lough. There was only a small fleet racing in the IRC fleet which was slightly disappointing end to the season. After a slow start in weeks 1 and 2 GTR is not back in the mix with two race wins on day 3 of the regatta.
