Close Cross with Imp #CorkWeek2024

J109 Going to Red was in the presence of sailing royalty during the Harbour Race of Cork Week 2024. Shortly after the start of the race J109 has a close cross with IMP, the two time winner of the famous Fastnet race.

I was worried that our main sheet trimmer was going to jump ship to join the crew on Imp. I kept us far enough away to avoid the second man over board incident of the week.

The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024.

Did the right of way boat need to deviate course to avoid?
