This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in December. Today, the races were held Eden Curlew. This time we had a fleet of five Bandit IFs at the start. One Bandit IF had crew on board. The North Sea regions behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky.
We sailed two races. Both the race courses remained in The North Sea waters. In both races we started with compact fleets, making the races exciting. One sailor did rule the sea from begin to the finish in both races
We had one DNF (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through all races and it was another successful and sporting day in The North Sea.
