The Mumm 36 - Go To Red made some magical memories for the Bottom Up Boats crew. The boat really came alive whenever we could get the A-Sail up in a bit of pressure. The boat was touching 10 knots of boats speed in gust up to 16 knots on the beautiful sunny day on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. Flat water and breeze really aloud the Mumm 36 to get her bow out of the water and jump up on the plane. The it was perfect condition for the yacht with the crew working together to ensure the sails were trimmed to perfection to keep the boat flat while reaching as the tighten up to make the bottom mark. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoyed this Mumm 36 Memory, where you can become a skipper for a minute by coming onboard Go to Red. Go to Red was a great boat which creation many memories which the crew and hopefully you look back on fondly for many years to come.

This is Pink Beach, Komodo! This exceptional beach gets its striking colour from microscopic animals called Foraminifera, which produces a red pigment on the coral reefs. This is why it’s called Red Beach (Pantai Merah) in the local tongue. When the tiny fragments of red coral combine with the white sand, it produces the soft pink colour that is visible along the shoreline. ~~~ #pinkbeach #komodonationalpark #komodoisland #komodo #liveaboard

Asmara is much more than just the name of our daily diving boat in Komodo. In Indonesian, Bahasa as the locals call it, Asmara means “love,” and that’s exactly how we feel about our work. This 18-meter boat has been designed specifically for diver comfort and safety so that you can enjoy the best Komodo tours. It was constructed by a fantastic team of local woodworkers (including our captain, Basir!) and you will see the love and care that they put into every detail. The boat is set up for a total of 14 divers plus staff and crew. You will be safe from the elements in our comfortable, enclosed cabin where coffee/tea are always available. On the roof, you will be able to take in the views of the Komodo National Park while lounging either in the sun or under the shade structure. Remember to bring coral safe sunscreen or we have local, sustainable sunscreen available for purchase in our shop. We also want you to experience a more environmentally friendly and responsible way of diving. The ocean and its health is our business so you won’t find single-use plastics anywhere on our boat or in our shop. We also offer vegetarian food as our primary meal option on our day trips in order to lower our environmental impact (other dietary needs can be met). Our goal in teaching is to transform you into a better and more conscious diver, always with safety as a priority.

One aggressive overtake. One massive wave. One terrifying moment that nearly ends everything. Watch as a high-speed sailboat passes dangerously close, triggering a wave impact that tilts the smaller boat nearly onto its side. The crew screams, gripping ropes as the boat heels violently. For a gut-wrenching second, a full capsize seems certain. But through skill and luck, they recover—damaged but determined to continue racing. This is real, unfiltered storm racing footage. No effects, no slow motion, just pure maritime chaos and human determination. ⛵ What happens: • High-speed aggressive overtake • Wave impact at critical moment • Boat heeling to near-capsize angle • Crew fighting for survival • Damage assessment and recovery • Back in the race despite injuries Real danger. Real courage. Real sailing. #OffshoreRacing #SailingAdventure #ExtremeWeather #StormRacing #SailingLife #RawFootage #NearCapsize #MarineLife #Regatta #WaveAction #OceanPower #ActionSports #SailingCommunity #RaceDay
