This Saturday afternoon, we had a fleet of nine Bandit IFs at the start, two with crew.
The North Sea regions behaved well and even in the Fruit waters there was not a cloud in the sky.
The first race had a surprising start. And right after the start everyone made their way to the first buoy. Once there, we had the front runners with a group of six pursuers. The battle turned out not to be over yet, as the two front runners were overtaken and two skippers would settle the race at the finish.
The start of the second race was just as beautiful as the first race. Three Bandits IF brooding side by side across the starting line. At the first mark we already had two leaders who would fight for the first place to the end. The fleet would slowly pull out, but in the second round, three other boats would fight each other.
We had two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.
More pictures after the results.
