The fleet rounds the green buoy in the Ziziphus region during the first race of the North Sea Bandit Regatta, on Monday, August 27th, 2019.
A great fleet turnout and smooth sim sailing weather highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Manta Reverse and North Sea 01 courses, was comprised entirely of eleven Bandit IFs. Two of those Bandit IFs were sailed with crew while the rest were all single-handed. We almost had a Bandit 25r racing but Max, with Wyndi as crew, opted to use his Bandit IF at the insistence of Sirius, making it the all Bandit IF affair.
From the left (in boats): Daenerys and Sasha (Bandit IF), Jackson (Bandit IF), Laured (Bandit IF), Red (Bandit IF), Ian (Bandit IF), Margo and Knitted (Bandit IF), Max and Wyndi (Bandit 25r), Julie (Bandit IF), Sirius (Bandit IF), and Rugger (Bandit IF).
On the committee boat: Joshua and Cryptic. On the dock: Maglio, Boz, Henry, Dean, and Nihiwatu.
The regions of the North Sea were well behaved as only three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. All three DNFs were recorded during the second race. One of those DNFs was due to a skipper pulling their boat right after the start. The other two DNFs were actually due to the skippers crashing out of Secondlife.
The fleet heads out on the first leg of the North Sea 01 course during the second race of the North Sea Bandit Regatta, on August 27th, 2019.
Spectators gathered in the usual spots, on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Lapwing region, and along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, as they took in some great racing from this weeks all Bandit IF fleet. It should be noted, the Poseidon Sailing Centre that stretches from the northwest corner of the Eden Curlew region into and along the shore of the Eden Lapwing region, is undergoing refurnishing to restore it to its former glory. Please bare with us as the refurnishing will take several months time. Until then, you’ll see Maddie’s prims in several states of construction until the builds final completion.

Race Notes:
Due to the fleet makeup for both races today consisted entirely of Bandit IFs, the race results are presented in single class format as handicaps were unnecessary.
Ian (IanPixel Resident) and Sirius (Sirius Rosca) finished tied with 7 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.“
