Nice sim sailing weather and a great fleet turnout highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. This week was our featured monthly There and Back Again series, were we sail from and too both of The North Sea’s racing lines in the Eden Curlew and Eden Jaeger regions. For this months series, instead of sailing back to the Eden Curlew race line, from the Eden Jaeger race line, we sailed a course entirely on the western portion of The North Sea estate for the second race. The regions of The North Sea treated our skippers well, as only three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day, two in the first race and one in the second respectively. Of the three DNFs, two were due to crashes, while the third was due to a skipper pulling her boat during the first race when her navigation HUD failed. As this weeks races used the entirely of the North Sea estate, there were many places for crowds to gather and watch our skippers. Gather the crowds did, as spectators were viewing from the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, as well as from the Pelican Sailing School, in the Eden Murrelet region. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Scampi courses, was comprised of a majority of ten Bandit IFs, eight were sailing single-handed and two were sailing with crew, respectively. Four Bandit 25Rs rounded out this weeks Bandit Fleet.

Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day for sailing. This time we had seven Bandit IFs, including three with crew.
The North Sea regions behaved very well. The first race went smoothly and the fleet stayed together for a long time. Several mutual fights started, which kept the race exciting. At the end of the first race, a number of skippers crashed, so we had two DNFs (Did Not Finish).

For the second race, a crewed IF joined the fleet. In the second race, so many errors (fouls) were made by several skippers from the start to the first mark, that before the end of the first lap, the RD decided to do the start all over again.

After the restart, the race went much better and sportier. One of the skippers took the lead from the start and was chased by a group of four boats, who fought each other out for the rest of the race, who would be second, however we lost a skipper in battle, making us have one DNF.
Due to the restart in the second race, DSQs (Disqualified) were nullified and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day for sailing. This time we had eight Bandit IFs, including two with crew.

In both competitions the fleet stayed together for a long time, but near Appleberry everyone made their own way to the river. In the second race, there was chaos at the first mark, as a skipper missed the mark and seemed to round it the other way around, but didn’t
We had two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and a DSQ (Disqualified) and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.
