Watch as a windward drop goes terribly wrong during a sailing regatta on Strangford Lough, showcasing the importance of crew work and communication in yacht racing. The J109, a popular choice for IRC racing, is put to the test as the crew attempts to navigate the challenges of spinnaker drops and bottom up boats. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps leads to a sailing fail that will have you laughing at the onboard antics. With a mix of funny sailing moments and sailor bloopers, this video highlights the lighter side of sailing fails and boating fails, even on a serious race day. The Strangford Lough sailing community is known for its competitive spirit, but even the best crews can experience a spinnaker fail or two. Join us as we take a look at what happens when things don't go according to plan, and the crew must think on their feet to recover from a disastrous spinnaker drop fail. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, you'll appreciate the humor and unpredictability of this sailing fail video. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoy these short clips from the 2025 racing season

We spent 4 days cruising the Okeechobee Waterway in our handbuilt wooden sailboat, and this is what we saw... 🎥 Watch the full episode - https://youtu.be/jQGzQfXn3Es -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

We caught up with ACMG guide Jan Neuspiel between trips to Bella Coola, and asked him about his custom powder skis. They feature west coast raven design created by our favourite local K’omoks and Kwakwaka’wakw artist, Karver Everson. So you might be wondering, who is Jan? Jan has been guiding and teaching for more than 35 years all over the world with a particular focus on the Himalayan region for about half that time. He spent six years living in Nepal (he speaks Nepali!) and eleven years running a helicopter skiing operation in northern India. Since 2006 Jan has also been the Head Guide for Bella Coola Helisports' heliskiing operations in the Mount Waddington area of the BC Coast Range. Closer to home, Jan founded two of Vancouver Island's most familiar alpine institutions: 1) Island Alpine Guides, which is Vancouver Island's premiere mountain school and guide service. 2) The Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre, where he acted as lead forecaster until recently. It's a homegrown and grassroots effort supported entirely by local businesses and users. They provide avalanche safety information for Vancouver Islanders who recreate in the backcountry in winter, predominantly via the Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin. His breadth of experience, his thoughtful kindness and his spirit of adventure make Jan a natural leader. He is a true inspiration and we are so thankful for his influence on the alpine culture here in our community, and for his positive contributions to mountain culture at large.
