The fourth 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 twelve Bandits at the starting line of the first race. There were six Bandit 22 LTEs, and six Bandit IFs. One of the 22s and one of the IFs had crew on board.
After a chaotic first start and a good restart, we got two separate fleets in the North Sea. A fleet of six Bandit 22s and a fleet of six Bandit IFs. In the second race all boats would start together again
There was two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.
