Liebe Segelfreunde, seit über 50 Jahren ist unserer kleiner Naturhafen in Magazzini an der nordöstlichen Küste der Insel ein beliebter Treffpunkt sowohl ambitionierter Wassersportler als auch wasserbegeisterter Familien. Sie lieben den Kontrast zwischen sonnendurchglühter Inselvegetation – in der Spazierwege direkt vom Hafen bis in die Berge führen – und den angenehmen Winden in der weiten blauen Bucht von Portoferraio. Von der Familie mit den unterschiedlichsten Freizeitbedürfnissen und Ansprüchen an „Ihren“ Urlaub bis hin zum routinierten Törnsegler, der sich bei uns von den Segelausbildern den „letzten Schliff“ für Regattasegeln oder Törnschulung in Fortgeschrittenenkursen vermitteln lassen will, wollen wir Eure Erwartungen erfüllen und möchten darüber hinaus unseren Gästen sowohl die Leidenschaft als auch das „know how“ für das Segeln vermitteln.
The Ritual of Saying goodbye is a meaningful way to adapt to changes in space and pace. I’m heading to the UK at the request of my publisher to attend an Awards Gala, where my latest book has been shortlisted for an award. I’ll return in a month to take on major boat projects before completing my loop around Japan next year! #farewell #BookAwards #AuthorLife #BoatProjects #SailingJapan #shortlisted #ChangeOfPace #NeverTooLateAcademy #digitalnomad
Reaching in 15 knots requires a combination of skill, technique and the right sailing boat, such as the J109, a popular choice for yacht racing and sailing lifestyle enthusiasts. In this video, we'll be sailing on Strangford Lough, a beautiful location for sailing and yachting, and demonstrating how to reach in strong winds. The Bermudian sloop rig of the J109 makes it an ideal boat for racing and cruising, and its performance in IRC sailing events is well-known. Whether you're sailing a Nicholson 43 or a J109, the principles of reaching in 15 knots remain the same, and by following these techniques, you can improve your sailing skills and enjoy the thrill of sailing on the open water. From the spring series to regatta events, understanding how to reach in strong winds is essential for any sailor, and can make all the difference in yacht racing and sailboat performance. By watching this video, you'll learn the techniques and strategies used by experienced sailors to reach in 15 knots, and how to apply them to your own sailing, whether you're sailing on Strangford Lough or elsewhere. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying these short clips from the 2026 racing season.
