Saturday afternoon, the last Bandit IF competition of 20191. At the start are 10 boats ready, 5 of which are crewed, for the final test measurements between the skippers. Who will it be and who will not reach the finish. It won’t be long before we get to know. Immediately after the start, five boats take the lead, behind which the field has already been opened. After the second mark, a boat takes the lead with a group of 3 boats behind them, who will compete for second place. Surprisingly, only a few skippers sail along the east side of Ziziphus
After the start signal of the second race, two boats take the lead and are followed by a group of 4 boats. Soon the North Sea is littered with Bandit IF boats. But as we approach the end of the day we see the order of the ships slowly becoming clear. A skipper loses track and misses, and not on a hair, Ziziphus and another skipper refuses to sail a 360, making it a DSQ (Disqualified).
