The third passage race of West Highland Yachting week 2022 from Tobermory to Oban once again provided some close racing at the first turning mark. The J109 BlueJay just got across the bow of the second J109 Going to Red. The they were closely followed by the 3rd J109 Salamander who was forced to go wide as the fast charging Sigma 400 Sunrise with no mark room decided to ignore the rules and gybe in side rather than luffing to keep clear. It was a little disappointing that Sunrise failed to do any penalty turns after breaking the rules, karma came to the rescue of the boats who followed the rules as Sunrise's kit wrapped around the forestay which allowed Salamander to luff up under them retaking 3rd place on the long run to Oban. BlueJay showed a clean pair feels leading from start to finish just beating Salamander to win the race, GTR learnt that polars are king when one design racing and learnt the hard way that low and slow is not the way to go when racing a J109 down wind. There was lots of tight racing across the whole week which made for a great regatta in the Scottish Highlands. The team at Bottom Up Boat hope you are enjoying the action from WHYW 2023.

This spotless 33′ Grady White Express is powered by a pair F300 Yamahas, with only 350 hours on them. The spacious cockpit provides ample room, catering to both fishing enthusiasts and those seeking a relaxing hangout space. Notable features include a convenient transom door, a foldaway upholstered transom seat, and a refrigerated fish box. There’s a BRAND NEW 6 kW diesel genset on board (less than 3 hours of use), a Smart plug shore power cable, a factory-installed hardtop, and an enclosure with a drop curtain. Safety and navigation equipment include an EPIRB, dual VHF radios, along with two large-screen Raymarine units that integrate GPS, fishfinder, and Radar functionalities – cleverly designed to fold away when not in use. The boat is equipped with 3 Yamaha gauges, Bennett trim tabs paired with a gauge, a Simrad auto-pilot, bow thruster, remote spotlight, and windlass. Exterior cushions re-stuffed and replaced summer 2023. The boat also comes with tuna spears for the serious anglers. Belowdeck, you’ll find a mid cabin and a forward double berth. The galley boasts ample storage space, along with modern conveniences like a microwave, refrigerator, Corian countertops, and a 2-burner electric stove. Adding to the interior’s appeal are the cherrywood dining table and teak and holly sole. All interior cushions were replaced summer 2022. A spacious head includes a shower complete with a vacuflush toilet.
