Semi-smooth sim sailing weather featured during this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club Cat Fight. With Linden Lab attending too and repairing the Farragut region earlier in the week, at Elbag’s request, we were able to return to running courses through that portion of Bingo Strait. Both courses on the day, BBYC 05 and BBYC 12, run through Farragut and all crossings were smooth there. However, the southern channel of Nautilus City would prove to be more stubborn as the two DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day were claimed there, near the Howe region crossing. This weeks fleet, comprised entirely of The Mesh Shop Flying Shadows, otherwise had no lag issues as the rest of the regions behaved well.

Today’s winner was Isa (isab DeCuir), with Moon (moonglownight Resident) second, and Daenerys (blondij Resident) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.
Race Notes:
Moon (moonglownight Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for failing to complete a penalty turn before finishing after committing a Mark-Room foul (Rule 18) at the last race mark, the light house island in the Nimitz region.
Julnara (Julnara Resident) and Rayz (Rayzza Rubble) both finished tied with 8 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:
“If there is a series score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.“
| Skipper | Best Finish | Next Best Finish |
| Julnara Resident | 3 | 5 |
| Rayzza Rubble | 4 | 4 |
With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Julnara’s favor with having a third place finish over Rayz’s fourth place finish as his best.
