Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the last North Sea Open Regatta of June, 2022. The North Sea regions were well behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF was attributed to a skipper pulling her boat during the small boat portion after frustration from being fouled on the first leg. The second DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was due to a skipper, new to racing, pulling her boat after frustration from trying to sail without auto-trim enabled. The crowds that gathered along the shores on the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, delighted in an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Bowline course, was made up of a triple split majority of two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, two Bandit 22 LTEs, and two Bandit IFs. One TMS Sea Boss Rider, and one Shields Class rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Torpedo course, was made up of a split majority of two TMS I-Mocca 60s, and two WildWind RC-44Rs. One Trudeau 12 Metre, one Trudeau Runa IV, and one Bandit 60 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

By the time of the first and only mark, Fanny was already ahead of the fleet with Zero and Julie. Fanny would increase her lead in the final leg.

The third and final race was again led by the same six boats. A skipper gave up in the first leg. Fanny took the lead with Jack in second. Julie, Zero and Siri had to follow at a distance. Another battle for third place ensued between Julie and Siri, but the match already seemed over.

Great sim sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a moderate breeze of 11 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were well behaved as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF was due to a skippers connection dying on her during the first race. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, on the shores of the island in the Genip region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea 01 and North Sea 02 courses, was made up of a majority of six Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, three sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.
