Today’s North Sea Bandit IF Regatta saw two races in wonderful sailing weather. At the start of the first race we had five Bandits. Two bandits had crew on board. In the first leg, Rugger took control of the race by sailing west of the first island and thus arriving at the first mark earlier. Siri followed in second, and Juicy in third. This order did not change again.

In the second race, Vicky and Xiao took the lead. They were closely followed by Siri. He took over the lead after the first mark and never relinquished it. Vicky and Xiao tried to keep Rugger behind them, but at the third mark he had overtaken Xiao. Siri was now free from the fleet and in control of the race. Juicy joined Vicky, and Rugger, and Vicky had to let the two fighters run. In the final part of the race, Juicy took second place from Rugger.

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

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were behaved for most with one DNF (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. The lone DNF came during the first race as a skipper crashed to her desktop. The crowds that gathered along the shores 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 the frenetic fleet-foiled feline frenzy on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Manta and North Sea Cat Fight 03 courses, was made up of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, three sailing single-handed and two sailing crewed1 respectively. Two WildWind AC-45s, and one WildWind AC-62 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet in the first race. For the second race, the AC-62 skipper opted to use her AC-45 instead.

1Today’s crewed boats were the teams of Sin (Sinarielle Resident) & Zoe (Zoe Ayashi), and Araton (Araton Titanium) & Ana (Sheeana Yue). Crewed boats are noted with the skipper’s name in the results table.
