Of those four DNFs, all occurring during the first race, three were from skippers crashing while crossing region corners. The remaining DNF was due to a skipper pulling his boat and logging. The seas calmed for the second race, as every skipper finished with nary a hiccup. The crowds that gathered at the lighthouses on the islands in the Genip, and Ziziphus regions, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on the frenzied fleet-foiled feline fury on display from this weeks skippers.

Bandit Regatta – Nov 15th 2021

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a gentle breeze of 8 knots out of the southwest, rising to a moderate breeze of 11 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were well behaved for everyone with only two DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. Both DNFs, occurring during the second race, were due to skippers crashing while crossing region corners. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on some exciting fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Short), and a two lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, two sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Juicy (juice651 Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 10:14. As their final time also remains tied, as they both sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to score this tie:

“If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.“

Therefore, both Juicy and Moon receive 5.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 5 and 6, added together and divided equally.

Sea (filax Carter) and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) 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:

“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
filax Carter	1	4
Nicole Myhre	2	3

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Sea’s favor with having a first place finish over Zimtzicke’s second place finish as her best.

Erica (EricaMusashi Resident), Faye (FayeAnneM Resident), and Cate (Cate Sewell) all finished tied with 17 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
EricaMusashi Resident	6	11
FayeAnneM Resident	7	10
Cate Sewell	7	10

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Erica’s favor with having a sixth place finish over Faye’s and Cate’s seventh place finishes as their best.

As Faye and Cate 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
FayeAnneM Resident	10	7
Cate Sewell	7	10
