Season 2 of Wave Rover starts off with a Huge announcement! I'm building a new boat. Wave Rover Hull #1 is a brand new 21foot pocket cruiser. Designed by an naval architect to comfortably circumnavigate the world, and yet, be built by the average person in a residential garage/shed. Design ideas that I have thought about over my many ocean voyages, both large and small, have been included in this design. The reason for the 2 different Displacement numbers: 2350lbs light boat; 2950 long range cruising( fully loaded with supplies for a 60 day voyage). I will build her over the next 18 months. Then we will take on the mission of circumnavigating the world on a 21foot boat. Join us by watching the adventure from the beginning right here on Sailing Wave Rover, Season 2 .

J109 Going to Red blasting downwind at over 12 knots with the wind gusting to 35 knots. We the bow wave breaking back behind the spreaders it was all hands to the back of the bus as we blasted across a tight reach. The 35 knot puff which hit us just before this laid us flat for 20 second and also most dumped out bow man over the side. There was quite a bit of yelling and screaming required to get the messages from the front of the boat to the back and visa versa. With the kite finally making it to the top of the mast and a couple of the crew hitting the rail we set of to catch the race leader who was not brave enough to fly the kite as the breeze built as the low pressure cell moved over northern Ireland and and built the breeze to over 35 knots. The J109 is a a great ocean going yacht which is stable and responsive even in the biggest of breezes. The team at Bottom up boats hopes you enjoyed this short video of us flying up Strangford Lough on the way to round island

Saturday Sail on #gecko40 . Easy 6kts in 10kts of wind. ▫️ We can't go far with the lock down restrictions, just out and back, and it's tempting to keep going to Mallorca 😉. ▫️ Anyway, all good as it's working. The numbers are coming down and we are allowed to move around Catalunya from tomorrow, so we are planning a trip to the Ebro Delta. ▫️ Head to 'kats.co/gecko' for more info on Gecko and 'kats.co/n40' for our owner's review. Have a good one! ▫️ #multihulls #catamaransailing #sailing #catamarans
