How to make a new yard, step 1. 😊 This week has included locating, taking down, debarking and preparing timber that will become six new yards on the ship! Heading out on our big expedition to Asia next year, we need to bring spare yards with us, and this week has been very busy at the sawmill outside of Laholm. Once the first processing of the logs has been done, they will be brought back to the workshop in Gothenburg where the work will continue. For the rig enthusiasts: The first log in the video will be an angled mizzan yard (latine yard). The second will be the second half of our main yard. One of the logs will also be our new spritsail yard to replace the one that broke this summer. The current one will go back to being the spare spritsail yard. A big thank you to Södra , SnickarNilsson, JB Riggers and PG Kran AB!

After a few season of coming to grips with our Mumm 36 racing yacht and optimising her sail plan we were finally in a positions to win races. A stripped out racing yacht like a Mumm 36 needs to be sailed on the limit at all times to keep you in races against boats with more forgiving IRC ratings. For the team at Bottom Up Boats it more often than not it came down to the crew work if you wanted to separate yourself from the chasing pack. One of the most magical memories from our time on the Mumm 36 was this peel from the Code Zero to the A-Sail on a short course race in the season ending frosties regatta at Strangford Lough Yacht club. This slick transition with the crew working in complete harmony allowed the team on GTR to maintain top speed during the second to last mark round which help give them the race win by less than 10 seconds. If you would like to learn more about how the crew on GTR perfected this type of sail change take a look at the full video to hear more about what was going on board to make for the perfect mark round and peel. https://youtu.be/Qxr-gVgsjW0?si=-YvRmoOkJcoeIkya
