It is known that PAZIENZA raced regularly in the Mediterranean in the late 1950s, winning the Giraglia in 1959 with Andrea Giuseppe "Beppe” Croce at the helm. In 1960 she was used as an official yacht to transport important personalities during the Rome Olympics including; it is rumoured the future President Kennedy and his wife Jackie. Her tall powerful rig makes her ideally suited for both light Mediterranean airs as well as effortless ocean crossings. Since the 1960s PAZIENZA has been raced and sailed far and wide; winning ocean races as well as classic regattas in the UK and the Caribbean. Her previous owners included Pete Townshend who won Falmouth Classics on a number of occasions. Her present owners since 2004 have raced and cruised extensively, including the inaugural Transat Classique in 2008/9, taking line honours on the leg to Agadir and podium position on the Atlantic leg. PAZIENZA is currently moored on a tranquil berth on the River Dart and is lovingly maintained to the highest standards.

J109 Going to Red was finding it hard to avoid the Cork 1720's who where sailing a different course with shared marks on the final day of Volvo Cork Week 2024. After ducking one starboard tacker it looked like they were clear until another one flicked over and call STARBOARD. The skipper on the J109 gave him the option to let them cross or get leebowed which would have destroyed both there races. Luckily common sense prevailed and both boats got to separate and finish there separate races. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024.

L'Equatore si avvicina. Italia e Gaetano equidistanti tra Africa e Brasile. Nel video di sabato 12 settembre. Un navigatore felice di stare nel suo elemento naturale: l'acqua. Non lo ferma la fatica, poco riposo, le difficoltà e la solitudine di questo lungo viaggio/tentativo di record per il giro del mondo. Una circumnavigazione ricca di emozioni.
