Cat Fight – Apr 19th 2019

From the left (in boats): Joshua, Shau (TMS Nacra 17), Nihiwatu (TMS Flying Shadow), Moon (TMs Flying Shadow), and Isa (TMS Flying Shadow).
On the dock: Nenrio, Caethes, Laured, Cryptic, and Ala.

A nice spectator turnout and choppy sailing sim weather featured during this weeks North Sea Cat Fight. After restarting all the North Sea regions two hours previous to race start, and Linden Lab’s ongoing efforts to remedy the teleport/region crossing situation (see: Teleport Disconnects), we still had four DNFs (Did Not Finish) due to crashes on the day (two in each race respectively). The gathered crowd was undeterred, however, as spectators were on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Lapwing region, the committee boat dock in the Eden Curling region, and the island in the Genip region. This weeks fleet, racing on the North Sea Roundabout and North Sea Trapezoid courses, was comprised of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows with one lone TMS Nacra 17.

The fleet gets underway at the start of the first race for the Cat Fight in The North Sea, on Friday, April 19th, 2019.
