A small turn out yet nicely mixed fleet featured in this weeks North Sea Trudeau Classic Regatta. A Patchogue II, T-12, Trudeau One, HepCat, and a Francois Jacques were on display in a nicely mixed fleet. Racing was fun and spread out due to each boat’s different handicaps. The first race was run on North Sea Trapezoid and the second race on North Sea Manta, recently created by our RD Julia.
Race Director: Julia
Wind: SW (225°) 18kts
Note:
Did Not Finish (DNF) = number of finish +1

Today’s winner was Sue, with Kristaly second, and Cryptic in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.
Prize plaques will be awarded for the first, second, and third place finishers based on the final points tally.
Race Note:
Sue and Kristaly finished tied with 3 points. As they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:
“If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.“
| Skipper | Race 1 | Race 2 |
| suemelgand Resident | 2 | 1 |
| kristaly Resident | 1 | 2 |
In the last race, Sue breaks the tie with Kristaly with her first place finish over Kristaly’s second place finish.
