S/Y ARAGON LADY OWNER STORM CHASING IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN Crossing from New Zealand to the Caribbean, Aragon Lady owner is sailing very deep in 40 knots, with hits of 50kts while reaching Cape Horn in The Roaring Forties “The good thing about that is that 40 suddenly feels more manageable. The Ocean is big and beautiful as we surf mountains of water. We are reaching top speed of 23.9 by nadir hanging on for dear life”, says Tom Rod Pearce, Aragon young and professional captain! What a vibe! #SouthernWind #SailingLife #YachtLife #Superyacht
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.
