We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.

Join us on the water as we explore the concept of comfort while sailing, particularly when it comes to sailboat racing and being in close proximity to other boats. We'll be sailing on a j109 yacht, a popular choice for coastal racing and one design competitions, and discussing the importance of race tactics and irc sailing. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, you'll appreciate the unique perspective on sailboat life and the thrill of boat racing. From the narrows regatta to other exciting sailing events, we'll delve into the world of yacht racing and what it takes to be successful. With stunning footage of strangford lough yachting and insightful commentary, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in sailing youtube channels and the sailing channel community. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we navigate the ups and downs of sailing and the art of boat handling on the beautiful waters of strangford lough. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying our short clips of the 2025 racing season.
