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.
