Great sim sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. Another week with a moderate breeze of 18 knots from the southwest, saw The North Sea regions calm and smooth for everyone as no DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The crowds that gathered on the observation platform of the lighthouse in the Ziziphus region, and on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.
This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Bowline course, was comprised of a small majority of five Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, one The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadow, one Bandit 25r, and one Isard Sjogin rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Trapezoid course, was comprised of a majority of three TMS I-Mocca 60s. One TMS Ushuaia, one Bandit 55, one WildWind RC-44r, and one Trudeau RUNA IV rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.
