This weeks North Sea Thursday Regatta, raced as a Trudeau Patchogue II class race, saw a great turnout. Nine sailors turned out to make an impressive cat boat fleet. The sims were a bit choppy during the first race but smoothed out for the second, as no DNF’s were recorded in that one.
The first race, on the NS-1b course, saw the fleet get off to a great start as half the fleet was across the start line in under 30 seconds. We did have some choppyness in this race as Joshua’s boat stopped responding to input forcing him to record a DNF and Trey and Dess both crashed, causing DNF’s as well.
The second race, on the NS-SOL-13B course, saw much smoother sim weather and another great fleet start. The entire fleet was across the start line in under 40 seconds, considering the Patchogue II’s slower speeds this was quite amazing.
