Saturday was a beautiful afternoon, in the middle of a hot summer, with good sailing weather and not a single thunderstorm to be seen. Today we invited several classes to make this Saturday afternoon a special competition. So we had seven Bandit IFs and five Bandit 22 LTEs, all sailing single-handed.
Just like last week, the boats would all start at the same time, but this would lead to two races taking place at the same time.

We had a good start again. Immediately after the start a group of eight boats was formed. It was a nice mix of four Bandit IFs and four Bandit 22s. Between Eden Albatros and Eden Curlew we had two groups. A group of three Bandit 22s and a group of five Bandit IFs, making the mutual battle more visible.

In the second race we had a compact group of eleven boats, a Bandit IF was left behind. At Sapote the whole group was clear and we had another group of Bandit 22s and a group of Bandit Ifs, but this group was more spread over the north sea.

We had three DNFs (Did Not Finish) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

More pictures after the results.

Today’s winners on the Bandit 22 LTE were Jenna ( jnx1e Resident), with Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) second, and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) in third place.

Today’s winners on the Bandit IF were Moon (moonglownight Resident), with Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) second, and Siri (Sirius Rosca) in third place.

Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for sailing an incorrect course, sailing under the two statues, as the statues are the mark in the Eden Gateway region.


Micha (Micha Karfield) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for sailing an incorrect course, rounding the Orange Mark clockwise (CW) instead of counter-clockwise (CCW) in the Sapodilla region as indicated by the course.


Micha (Micha Karfield) 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 18.2 GIVING MARK ROOM foul.

“18.2 Giving Mark-Room
(b) If boats are overlapped when the first of them reaches the zone, the outside boat at that moment shall
thereafter give the inside boat mark-room. If a boat is clear ahead when she reaches the zone,
the boat clear astern at that moment shall thereafter give her mark-room.“
