As always, Sagitta spent the winter ashore at the Multihull Centre, Millbrook, Cornwall. I first came here in 1982, we built our Gwahir, Gypsy, Wizard, Elf and Eclipse here, so it's very much a home from home! This winter a major job was to fit a Tidestrack mainsail luff track which hopefully will make it much easier to hoist the mainsail. I have a high tech "black" sail which is very much lighter than my old dacron sail - I can easily carry it unaided - but it's still an effort to raise. The mast is still down because it's much easier to crane the boat in with the mast down and then step it after launching. The video was taken from the top of the cabin roof and shows just how many different multihulls are packed in for winter storage - and this is only part of the yard! The boats vary year by year, this year there are four Sagittas and two Windsongs in the yard.
Join us on the water as we explore the concept of comfort while sailing, particularly when it comes to sailboat racing and being in close proximity to other boats. We'll be sailing on a j109 yacht, a popular choice for coastal racing and one design competitions, and discussing the importance of race tactics and irc sailing. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, you'll appreciate the unique perspective on sailboat life and the thrill of boat racing. From the narrows regatta to other exciting sailing events, we'll delve into the world of yacht racing and what it takes to be successful. With stunning footage of strangford lough yachting and insightful commentary, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in sailing youtube channels and the sailing channel community. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we navigate the ups and downs of sailing and the art of boat handling on the beautiful waters of strangford lough. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying our short clips of the 2025 racing season.
