We are enclosing and extending our wheelhouse before winter for protect and so we can move the mainsheet from the top of the aft cabin to above the wheelhouse (better safety and a better sheeting angle). This is the second part of the fabric enclosure and the next prototype frame. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

The crew on the J109 Going to Red showed how clockwork crew work keeps up your boat speed as you change sails and round a mark. Coming into race the top mark of race 3 of the annual narrows regatta on Strangford Lough the team was overlayed with the kite setup on the wrong side of a gybe set. The team recovered with some clockwork crew work which turned out to be faster than a gybe set. The team did a lightening set on the approach to the mark, quickly getting the jib down and setting up for a gybe where they only lost the kite for a couple of second. The exceptional crew work allowed the team to stretch out their lead going ton to tack the victory and the overall series. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying these quick clips from the 2024 racing season with the days getting longer it will not be too long until the boats is back in the water so we can start making more memories as part of the 2025 season.
Primo giorno tutti insieme. Com’è che ci si comporta in società? 😂 Scherzo, ma altre 2 voci in casa si sentono e scaldano il cuore. Non so cosa stia succedendo al meteo in questi giorni, ma è da un po’ che è prevista pioggia su pioggia (già quando attraversavamo da St Marteen a Rep Dominicana) e poi non succede niente. È una di quelle situazioni in cui tutto funziona e non vuoi scomodare la sfiga ricordandole che non sta piovendo 😂 Anche qui scherzo ovviamente. Ma non diciamolo ad alta voce che il bel tempo sta tenendo 🫣 Il torcicollo continua a farsi sentire e io ho smesso da un pezzo di cercare ogni mezzo per contrastarlo, provando invece a cambiare prospettiva e a vederlo come un compagno di viaggio, con il quale condividere il sedile sul treno. Un compagno mi auguro scenderà alla prossima fermata (questa è una cit che se riconosci piangi). Parlando di argomenti più leggeri, Isola Catalina è una piccola oasi di pace, acqua turchese, fondo sabbioso, tanti pesciotti e stelle marine. Uno di quei posti a cui viene incredibilmente naturale affezionarsi e dal quale sarà dura congedarsi. Noi, nel dubbio, facciamo un tuffo. 💙 A domani! C.
