This is what it looks and feels like to get hammered by a storm on a boat. While moored at Camden Haven we got hit by a late afternoon supercell thunderstorm. A beautiful sight as it arrived - the night sky lit up like a lightning bolt xmas tree. Not so beautiful when it hit, 80-90 km/h winds which tossed the boat from side to side and strained the mooring lines... ahhhhh sailing.
J109 "Going to Red" beating to windward had a fine line to thread the gap between Jellybaby and another IRC Zero entry on day two of racing of Cork Week 2024. Race 6 ended up being the trickiest race of the day with the wind getting light and variable towards the top mark before a 30 degree shift on the last beat turned the race on it head. The race committee did a good job to finish the IRC 1 boats at the top mark to limit the damage from the variable winds. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024
