Our latest OH CRAP moment hit us when a violent squall appeared out of nowhere in the darkness smashing our boat from the complete opposite wind direction, tearing our mainsail free of the boom allowing it to flap crazily amongst the rigging in the middle of a busy shipping lane. In treacherous conditions on deck, it had to be secured fast before it tore itself to pieces.

Klapa Ondina Klapa Neverin Katina Marinović and so much more filling the air with beautiful melodies and harmonies. 🌟 Our crew had had a BIG day out sailing so we didn’t mingle with the crowds, but we certainly enjoyed the beautiful melodies and harmonies from the comfort of Mila Felice, our boat for this week. 🌊 The music wove a magical atmosphere under the starry night sky, providing the perfect end to a day well-spent on the water.

Watch as a windward drop goes terribly wrong during a sailing regatta on Strangford Lough, showcasing the importance of crew work and communication in yacht racing. The J109, a popular choice for IRC racing, is put to the test as the crew attempts to navigate the challenges of spinnaker drops and bottom up boats. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps leads to a sailing fail that will have you laughing at the onboard antics. With a mix of funny sailing moments and sailor bloopers, this video highlights the lighter side of sailing fails and boating fails, even on a serious race day. The Strangford Lough sailing community is known for its competitive spirit, but even the best crews can experience a spinnaker fail or two. Join us as we take a look at what happens when things don't go according to plan, and the crew must think on their feet to recover from a disastrous spinnaker drop fail. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, you'll appreciate the humor and unpredictability of this sailing fail video. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoy these short clips from the 2025 racing season
