Another beautiful Saturday afternoon in July was the scene for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We started with seven Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs has crew on board. A skipper took a lead on four pursuers. This was short-lived as he was having problems. This left him behind. The other four skippers would decide who would win the first race.
In the second race, all six boats left one after the other. But we would have a fight for first and third place. a skipper had bad luck on the way, so we had a surprising winner today.
There was one DNF (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Today’s winners were Siri (Sirius Rosca), with Moon (Moonglownight Resident) second, and Zero (Sleet Zero) in third place.
Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.
Race Notes:
Moon (moonglownight Resident) and Zero (Sleet Zero) finished tied with 6 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 |
| moonglownight Resident | 4 | 2 |
| Sleet Zero | 2 | 4 |
In the last race, Moon breaks the tie with Zero with his second place finish over Zero’s fourth place finish.
