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

Out sailing with the Dazcats! ▫️ Thanks to Dazcat Catamarans for the footage, edit by Katamarans. ▫️ We met some of the Dazcat team at the Multihull Show in La Grande Motte and are going to have to organise that visit to Cornwall, the Land of the Giants. ▫️ The combined strengths of Dazcat, Multimarine and the Multihull Centre has enabled this group to grow steadily over recent years with rising demand for their services and their high quality performance cruising catamarans. ▫️ Centralisation of weight is a USP with these yachts all designed to reduce pitching motion. The soles are raised at the centre of each hull to create room for the engines, tanks and systems amidships. The lower centre of gravity of the boat gives a ride that you could compare to a low slung mid-engine sports car versus a 4x4 / SUV. ▫️ This company is one to watch. For a history of Dazcat head to 'https://kats.co/daz'. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #multihulls #dazcat #sailing #catamarans #dazcatcatamarans #multihull #catamaran #performancecatamarans #katamarans #cornwall #yachtdesigb
