Offshore cruising in a sudden pop‑up thunderstorm is anything but predictable—one moment the sea rolls steady, the next a wall of wind barrels down, whipping the rigging and heeling the boat hard over as spray leaps across the deck. Rain lashes sideways, stinging skin and soaking everything in seconds, until I can’t tell what’s seawater and what’s sky. The storm seems to come from nowhere, fierce and messy, leaving me braced against the wheel, drenched and blinking through the chaos, riding it out until the burst of fury suddenly eases as quickly as it arrived.
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
