We just sailed 2,250 nautical miles from Chile to Panama and Zambezi gave it her all ⛵️ So did we. But here’s the truth: offshore sailing will always find your weak points. Here’s what didn’t survive: ⚙️ Steering wire 💥 Spinnaker (luckily @rollytaskersails_official is already working on our replacement 🙏) 🔩 Genoa shackle 🧩 Main sheet bloc 🛠 Engine acceleration lever 🐟 …and a shameful number of fishing lines 😅 No major damage, just a lot of salty lessons and toolbox hours. This is why preparation matters and why we carry way more spare parts than we used to. Tell us what’s broken on your longest passage? Or what spare would you never leave without? ⚓️ Want to feel more prepared? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle—real lessons, real tools, zero fluff. Stay Salty!

Join us on an exhilarating sailing adventure as we take on the challenge of downwind sailing on the stunning Strangford Lough. Our J109 sailboat is put to the test as we navigate through rough seas and high winds, reaching incredible sailboat speed and max speed. This extreme sailing experience is not for the faint of heart, with the boat often sailing on the plane, providing an adrenaline-pumping thrill. As we participate in this yacht racing regatta, we push our performance sailing skills to the limit, taking on the wild and windy conditions. With the irc racing rules in place, we must strategically maneuver our J109 yachting vessel to achieve the best possible results. The rush of sailing downwind, feeling the sail fill with wind, and the boat lifting out of the water is an unforgettable experience. Get ready for a high-speed, action-packed sailing adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat, as we take on the ultimate test of sailing skill and endurance in this thrilling sailboat racing competition on the beautiful Strangford Lough. The team at bottom up boats is excited to be back and giving you lots of action from the 2026 racing season
