Great sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The regions of the North Sea were in great shape, as no DNFs (Did Not Finish) or crashes occurred on the day. We sailed from both of the North Sea’s race lines, in the Eden Curlew and Eden Jaeger region, with incredibly smooth seas across the estate. As a result of the great conditions, the crowds that were gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, as well as the small docks in the Eden Jakana and Eden Jaeger region, enjoyed some great racing from this weeks fleet-foiled flying felines. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 02 and North Sea Thornback courses, was comprised of a majority of four The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, three sailing single-handed and one sailing with crew respectively. Two TMS Nacra 17s rounded out this weeks fleet, with one skipper switching from a TMS Nacra 17 to a Wildwind AC-62 for the second race.

Race Notes:
Riz (RIZLER Rodex) was disqualified (DSQ) during the second race for sailing an incorrect course, he missed the first course mark, the blue buoy in the Eden Murrelet region.
Moon (moonglownight Resident), Cole (Colette Verino), and Rayz (Rayzza Rubble) all 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 |
| moonglownight Resident | 2 | 6 |
| Colette Verino | 3 | 5 |
| Rayzza Rubble | 4 | 4 |
With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Moon’s favor with having a second place finish over Cole’s third place and Rayz’s fourth place finishes as their best.
