Smooth sim sailing weather featured during this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. Linden Lab may have finally fixed the teleport/region crossing issues as crossings were smooth as glass today. The waters of the North Sea treated the sailors well as there were no DNFs (Did Not Finish) on they day. Once again, spectators enjoyed the racing as they flocked to the shores of the islands in both the Genip and Ziziphus regions, as well as the committee boat dock in the Eden Curlew region. This weeks fleet, sailing on the updated North Sea Extreme* and North Sea Triple Pink** courses, was comprised entirely of The Mesh Shop Flying Shadows, four single-handed and three crewed boats respectively.

* North Sea Triple Pink was originally created by Petra Paname in 2017.
** North Sea Extreme was originally created by Julia Salzano in 2016.

The fleets gets underway at the start of the first race for the North Sea Cat Fight, on Friday, April 26th, 2019.

Race Notes:
Xarabethe (Xarabethe Resident) and Palani (Palani Allen) finished tied with 13 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
Xarabethe Resident	7	6
Palani Allen	6	7

In the last race, Xarabethe breaks the tie with Palani with her sixth place finish over Palani’s seventh place finish.
