A short video of our Race on 23-01-19 on Moreton Bay, winds to 25knots. We hit our speed record of 20.5 knots unfortunately we only recorded 20.2.... Great fun also some footage of our tacking duel with Seraya - a fast mono hull. We were doing 11.5 knots upwind... then we screwed up our spinnaker run - such is life. Thanklsfully I didn't reoced that disaster! Haha.

When you get the speed wobbles you need to sheet the kite in tight to avoid a crazy uncontrolled gybe like the one we had on this sunny autumn day on Strangford lough. The mast man took a pounding as the rock and roll of the boat slipped him of the deck as our Mumm 36 turned into and uncontrolled gybe. The wipe out managed to break the kite poke in two as it was pinned back against the side stay as the windward side of the boat quickly became the leeward side as we swung through the gybe. Luckily it was only the pride of the crew was damaged as no one was seriously hurt. With the pole broken it was a long afternoon on the race course without the big kite, the team on GTR raced on flying the A-Sail of the bow to ensure they did not end up with a DNF in the second race of the day. If you made it this far and like what you saw why not join the bottom up boats crew to come on board to ensure you don't miss any of the action.
