From the left to right: (in Bandit IFs): Ian & Noch, Julie, Red, Rugger & Jade, Siri, Max & Wyndi
On the Committee boat: Sasha, Joshua, Jean, Daenerys.
It was a normal Saturday afternoon again and this time we had 6 boats, half of them with crew. We had a smooth start, but Max was a little too fast and had to turn around. Ian immediately took the lead and he had 3 boats on his heels, although no one seemed to come near him anymore, and there was a fight for the second place that was decided in DragonFruit. Red turned the buoy there second round.
The second start went a bit better for everyone, but it seemed as if Ian had missed the boat, but he again took the lead at the first buoy not to give it off again.
With two DNFs, and one DSQ, it was again not a successful but a sporting day in North Sea
More pictures after the results.

Race Notes:
Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the second race for finishing the race under protest while failing to complete a 360° penalty turn as instructed by a race director for a Rule 19.2 foul against Red.
“19.2 Giving Room at an Obstruction
(b) When boats are overlapped, the outside boat shall give the inside boat room between her and the obstruction,
unless she has been unable to do so from the time the overlap began.“

Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Siri (Sirius Rosca) 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 |
| Julie | 2 | 4 |
| Siri | 3 | 3 |
With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Julie’s favor with having a second place finish over Siri’s third fourth place finish as his best.
