J109 Going to Red blasting downwind at over 12 knots with the wind gusting to 35 knots. We the bow wave breaking back behind the spreaders it was all hands to the back of the bus as we blasted across a tight reach. The 35 knot puff which hit us just before this laid us flat for 20 second and also most dumped out bow man over the side. There was quite a bit of yelling and screaming required to get the messages from the front of the boat to the back and visa versa. With the kite finally making it to the top of the mast and a couple of the crew hitting the rail we set of to catch the race leader who was not brave enough to fly the kite as the breeze built as the low pressure cell moved over northern Ireland and and built the breeze to over 35 knots. The J109 is a a great ocean going yacht which is stable and responsive even in the biggest of breezes. The team at Bottom up boats hopes you enjoyed this short video of us flying up Strangford Lough on the way to round island

We are seeing a growth in interest in aluminium catamarans at the moment. It's definitely a trend. The Eyecat 55 is one of the more impressive launches of the past couple of years. Aluminium is hard wearing, will last longer and is strong enough for off-the-track sailing. It's also going to help your resale values and has a lower environmental impact. ▫️ This aluminium 55 footer is built in the Netherlands and has two electric motors, an aluminium hull, solar panels and a water maker, a customisable boat set up for blue water cruising. ▫️ The #1 hull was set up with twin aft helms and a forward lounge. ▫️ LOA 17.68 m LOD 16.75 m LWL 16.11 m BEAM 8.40 m DRAFT 1.60 m BRIDGE DECK HEIGHT 1.15 m DISPLACEMENT (LIGHTLOAD) 18.500 kg ▫️ eyecatamarans #aluminium #yachts #ecosailing #catamaran #multihull
