Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the last North Sea Open Regatta for November, 2022. The North Sea regions were well behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day.

The remaining DNF, also recorded during the small boat portion, was from a skippers router cutting off her connection to the internet. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, were delighted by a rousing display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing a three lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop Mirror course, was made up of a majority of six Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, and one TMS Flying Shadow rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of three TMS I-Mocca 60s.

Bandit IF Regatta – Nov 26th 2022

From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Red, Julie, Jack, Darb & Kit, Siri, Moon, and Rugger. Committee boat: Daenerys, and Tamarushka.

The last North Sea Bandit IF regatta for November, 2022, took place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We started with seven Bandit IFs. One Bandit IF had crew on board. We had a great start and Rugger took the lead right away. He and Red hit a corner of a region and had to give up. Julie then took a lead and was chased by Moon. Siri and Jack would battle for third place all day. Luckily there were no guns on board :).

In the second race we left with five boats. Julie immediately took the lead again. Siri and Jack chased Moon, but he stayed ahead of them. Towards the end of the match, fate struck for Julie. She lost control of her boat and sailed directly against the huts in the region of Clementine. As a result, Moon and Jack overtook her, but in the end she was still second.

There were two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

North Sea Open Regatta – November 16th 2022

Small boat fleet, from the left (in boats): Emilio (Bandit 22 LTE), Lilita (Bandit 22 LTE), Niem (Bandit 22 LTE), Red (Bandit IF), ViV (TMS Star Class), Max (Bandit 22 LTE), Max and Wyndi (TMS Star Class), Sirius (Bandit IF), Cilian (Bandit 22 LTE), Rugger (Bandit 22 LTE), Theresa and Toni (Bandit 22 LTE), Moon (Bandit 22 LTE), Sea (Bandit 22 LTE), and Zimtzicke (Bandit 22 LTE).
On the Race Committee Boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, Henry, and Asher.

Calm to slightly choppy seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. All three DNFs, one occurring during the small boat portion and two during the big boat portion, were the results of skippers crossing over region corners. The two DNFs during the big boat portion were the direct results of a particularly nasty corner rounding, around the northern tip of the island in the Ziziphus region, amongst a pack of six of the fleet at that point. The crowds that gathered along the beaches of 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 a rousing display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea CCW (counter-clockwise) course, was made up of a majority of ten Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, and two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing crewed and one single-handed respectively, rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Roundabout course, was made up of a majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s. Three WildWind Open 60s, and one TMS One Design 65 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Big boat fleet, from the left (in boats): Niem (TMS One Design 65), ViV (TMS I-Mocca 60), Sirius (TMS I-Mocca 60), Moon (WildWind Open 60), Max (TMS I-Mocca 60), Sea (WildWind Open 60), Zimtzicke (TMS I-Mocca 60), and Rugger and Lilita (WildWind Open 60).
On the Race Committee Boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, Henry, Theresa, Aikolicious, Caethes, Toni, and Asher.

Bandit Regatta – Nov 14th 2022

On the race committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, and Theresa. On the pier: Mutsy.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a moderate breeze of 15 knots out of the southwest, rising to a fresh breeze of 18 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were well behaved as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF, occurring during the first race, was due to a skippers internet connection dying on her during the race. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, were thrilled by an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Manta and North Sea Manta Reverse courses, was made up of a split majority of four Bandit IFs, and four Bandit 22 LTEs. One Bandit 25 R, and one Bandit 60 rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet in the first race. One Bandit IF skipper opted to switch to her Bandit 22, and another skipper joined the fleet with a Bandit 22 for the second race.
