A beautiful Thursday afternoon in November, with good sailing weather and the wind coming from the south west and not a single thunderstorm to be seen. Today we had four Bandit 22 LTEs, three Star Class and six Bandit IFs on the starting line.
In the first race we had a group of ten boats that were together from the start and slowly fell apart, because this group consisted of different classes. You could see that skippers learn every time and sail each other less and less.
In the second race we had a group of seven boats who chose their own way right after the start, making them sail from different directions to the first mark in Sapote. to sail. All in all, they were two great matches.
We had five DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea
Star Clss on Port Tack had to wait for the Bandit IF on Starboard Tack at the mark in Soncoya
