🇬🇧 What a day of contrasts! From drifting in circles this morning to full speed under spinnaker this evening. 🏁 Disappointing to have lost miles to the competition but nice to be back in the chase! Good things come to those who wait…. Except haircuts. I really need a haircut! 👩 🇫🇷 Quelle journée remplie de contrastes ! De la navigation en rond ce matin à la vitesse maximale sous spi ce soir. 🏁 Déçu d'avoir perdu des milles au profit de la concurrence mais agréable de se remettre dans la course ! Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre.... Sauf les coupes de cheveux. J'ai vraiment besoin d'une coupe de cheveux ! 👩

This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.

Should we make this a regular #vanlife feature? You know you want to giggle, just do it.
