Calm to slightly choppy seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were calm for most as all four of the DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day were due to skippers pulling their boats. Two DNFs were due to skippers pulling their boats after discovering they had an incorrect course loaded in their navigation HUD. One more DNF was from a skipper pulling his boat after frustration from getting lost, with the final DNF due to a skipper pulling his boat after experiencing boat script issues. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on a spirited display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, one Shields Class, one Isard Sjogin, and one Quest 2m rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing a two lap affair on the North Sea Long Loop course, was made up of a majority of four Trudeau 12 Metres.

From the left to the right: (in Bandit IFs): boats: Emileigh, Moonglownight, JulieRoyale. Juicy, RedHeadJo, Jackson, Sirius & Angelie, Ruggeromare, Max & Wyndi Committee boat: Daenerys, Tamarushka Dock: Nicole, Martin

Saturday afternoon was a beautiful afternoon in September. Today the races were again in Appleberry. This time we had a fleet of nine Bandit IFs at the start. Two Bandit IFs had crew on board. The North Sea regions behaved well, but we had several dropouts in the Fruit Island regions.

Today we would sail two races. In the first race, the fleet spread very quickly across the North Sea towards the first mark deep in the Fruit Island regions. In the second race, the fleet stayed together for a very long time. Halfway through the race, groups started to form.

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

Race Director: Daenerys
Assist Race Director: Tamarushka, and Cryptic

Wind: 170° (S) 18kts

Wind: 190° (S) 18kts

Note:
Did Not Finish (DNF) = number of finish + 1
Disqualified (DSQ) = number of finish + number of DNFs + 1
Did Not Start (DNS) = number of start + 1

Today’s winner was Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Jack (Jacquimo Resident) second, and Moon (Moonglownight Resident) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), Jack (Jacquimo Resident), and Moon (Moonglownight Resident) all finished tied with 4 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

“If there is a series score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.“

Skipper	Best Finish	Next Best Finish
JulieRoyale Resident	1	3
Jacquimo Resident	1	3
Moonglownight Resident	2	2

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Julie’s and Jack’s favor with having first place finishes over Moon’s second place finish as his best.

As Julie and Jack both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this remaining tie:

“If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.“

Skipper	Race 1	Race 2
JulieRoyale Resident	3	1
Jacquimo Resident	1	3

In the last race, Julie breaks the tie with Jack with her first place finish over jack’s third place finish.

Cat Fight – Sept 17th 2021

From the left (in boats): Daenerys and Tamarushka (TMS Flying Shadow), Sin and Lin (TMS Flying Shadow), Sirius (TMS Flying Shadow), Julie (TMS Flying Shadow), Jun (TMS Nacra 17), Sea (WildWInd AC-45), and Jenna and Amber (TMS Flying Shadow).
On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Emileigh, Caethes, and Broncocas. On the pier: Brad, and Juicy.

Great sim sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were well behaved for our skippers today as only two DNFs (Did Not Finish) occurred. That first DNF, during the first race, was due to a skippers internet connection dropping on them as they neared the finish. The remaining DNF, during the second race, was due to a skipper crashing as they crossed across region corners. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Genip, Citrus, and Ziziphus regions, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on the frenetic fleet-foiled feline furor on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea CCW (Counter-Clockwise) and North Sea Hay courses, was made up of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, three sailing crewed and two sailing single-handed respectively. One TMS Nacra 17, and one WildWind AC-45 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet.

Wind: SW (225°) 18kts

Race Notes:
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Daenerys (blondij Resident) both finished tied with 5 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

Thursday Triple Threat – Sept 16th 2021

From the left to the right:
Bandit B22: Rugger & Erica, Sea, Nicole
Bandit IF: Red, Julie, Juicy, Jackson, Faye, Siri, Max & Wyndi
Dock: Lalia, Angus
Committee boat: Daenerys, Tamarushka

The third Thursday afternoon in September was a beautiful day for Triple Threat with good sailing weather coming in from the southwest. The North Sea regions behaved very well.

Today we had nine Bandits at the starting line of the first race. There were three Bandit 22 LTEs, six Bandit IFs. One of the 22s and one of the IFs had crew on board. One of the 22s sailed with no race wind, so it was not registered by the race line. In the second race, a fourth 22 joined the company.

Today we had two great races. There were close fights between all the skippers. In the second race, we used the multi-start option of Lalia’s race line for the first time in history. As a result, two different fleets were created right from the start that did not get in each other’s way. I want to use this way of starting more in the future.

There was three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Race Director: Daenerys
Assistant Race Director: Tamarushka, and Cryptic

Wind: 230° (SW) 15kts

Wind: 220° (SW) 17kts

Note:

Did Not Finish (DNF) = number of finish +1
Disqualified (DSQ) = number of finish + number of DNFs + 1
Did Not Start (DNS) = number of start +1

Today’s winners on the Bandit 22 LTE were Nicole (Nicole Myhre), with Sea (filax Carter) second, and Erica (EricaMusashi Resident) in third place.

Today’s winners on the Bandit IF were Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Jack (Jacquimo Resident) second, and Juicy (juice651 Residen) in third place.

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

Race Notes:
Nicole (Nicole Myhre) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished tied with 3 points.  As they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

“If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.“

Skipper	Race 1	Race 2
Nicole Myhre	2	1
