A beautiful Saturday afternoon in the summer, the last Saturday of August. This time we had a fleet of ten Bandit IF’s at the start. Two of the nine Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea and Fruit regions behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky. Until we got a thunderstorm on our roof in the second race, causing two skippers to stop

Today we would sail two races. In the first race there were duos and this resulted in several beautiful spectacles. At the second race a group of 4 and a group of 5 ships were formed. We kept this situation until we entered the Isles of Fruit. There we lost two skippers.

We had three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through all races and it was another successful and sporting day in The North Sea.

Calm to choppy seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were smooth for everyone during the small boat portion, as thirteen boats completed two laps of our Short Loop course. However, the seas grew rough during the big boat portion, with four DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded. Of those four DNFs, three were due to skippers pulling their boats after either losing WWC wind, or script issues with their boat. The fourth DNF was due to skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on an energetic display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing a two lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was comprised of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, one The Mesh Shop (TMS) Laser One, and one Quest 2m rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was comprised of a majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s. Three WildWind Open 60s, two Trudeau Runa IVs¹, one TMS Ushuaia, and one Bandit 55 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.“

Therefore, both Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Jack (Jacquimo Resident) receive 1.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 1 and 2, added together and divided equally.
