Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a moderate breeze of 11 knots coming from the southwest, The North Sea regions were well behaved for everyone as only one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF was attributed to a skipper pulling her boat, mere meters after the start line, when realizing she had the wrong course loaded in her navigation HUD. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in some spirited fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea 01, and the North Sea 02 courses, was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit 25Rs, and two Bandit IFs rounded out the fleet for the first race. One Bandit 25r skipper switched to her Bandit IF for the second race.

Great sim sailing weather, with another great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The regions of the North Sea behaved well as only two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day, both at the end of the second race as both skippers connections dropped. The crowds along the course, on the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, witnessed some great sailing from this weeks skippers as we ran our monthly There And Back Again series while debuting a new course for the second race. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Scampi¹ courses, was comprised of a majority of seven Bandit IFs, three sailing with crew and four sailing single-handed respectively. Five Bandit 25Rs made up the remainder of this weeks fleet.

On the dock: Nikki, Apollon, Joshua, and Cryptic.

Great sim sailing weather and some exciting racing were on display during this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The waters of The North Sea were calm this week, with smooth region crossings and light lag, providing for some great racing conditions. The crowd that was gathered on the committee boat dock benefited from the great conditions, as the racing itself was close, with several tightly fought battles and close finishes occurring in both races. Max, with Wyndi as crew, and Sandra, both in Bandit 25Rs, kept things interesting as they both were neck and neck until the finish of race one, with Sandra hitting the line a tenth of a second before Max. In the second race, Sandra again kept things interesting, this time in a contested battle with Shau, again both in Bandit 25Rs, as they traded the fleet lead several times until the finish. This weeks fleet, racing on North Sea Olympic Course (Short) and North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was comprised of a majority of four Bandit IFs with three Bandit 25Rs making up the remainder.

The fleet gets underway during the first race of the North Sea Bandit Regatta, on Monday, May 6th, 2019.

On the dock: Joshua, Daenerys, Trouble, and Cryptic.

Choppy seas, a varied fleet, and a new boat highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The regions of The North Sea were slightly helter skelter as there were four DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day, two from the same sailor crashing in both races. The other two DNFs were no better, one from Red as her internet connection quit and the other, from Moon, as he pulled his boat during the first race after he crashed. The rest of the fleet fared better as the mix of boats was more varied than in past weeks. The fleet was comprised of a majority of seven Bandit IFs. Two Bandit 25Rs, a Bandit 50r, and a Bandit 50/3 made up the remainder of the fleet. Speaking of the Bandit 50/3, that’s not a typo. Anaylse Dean, the creator of Bandit boats brought along the newly updated boat, skippered by Macz Murfin. The Bandit 50/3 is powered by BOSS3 scripts and features a new mesh boat model. As this was the Bandit 50/3’s first appearance in an organized race, it has a preliminary handicap of 1.0 until we have more data points to give it a proper handicap*.

*A minimum of three results from a boat’s run on North Sea Olympic Course (Long) are needed to create a handicap.

Race Director: Cryptic
Wind: SW (225°) 18kts

Today’s winner was Sandra (WWWAAAA Resident), with Margo (gsgraaf Resident) second, and Nikki (Nikki Lacrima) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Jackson (Jacquimo Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) both finished tied with 11 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

“If there is a series score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.“

Skipper	Best Finish	Next Best Finish
Jacquimo Resident	4	7
Maximiliano Szondi	5	6

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Jackson’s favor with having a fourth place finish over Max’s fifth place finish as his best.

---

Moon (moonglownight Resident) and Red (RedHeadJO Resident) both finished tied with 19 points. As the both have the exact same finishes, a DNF (Did Not Finish) and DNS (Did Not Start) in each race respectively, neither rule A8.1 or rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing can satisfy breaking this tie. Therefore, Moon and Red remain ties in tenth place overall.
 

Bandit Regatta – Apr 22nd 2019

From the left (in boats): Laured (Bandit 25r), Shau (Bandit 25r), Max and Wyndi (Bandit 25r), Daenerys (Bandit IF), Nikki and Xarabethe (Bandit IF), Red (Bandit IF), Sirius (Bandit IF), Margo (Bandit IF), and Moon (Bandit IF).
On the dock: Cryptic, and Joshua.

Choppy sim sailing weather and a hungry set of region corners highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The North Sea regions behaved well for the first portion of the regatta, as only three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded, one to a set of region corners. The seas turned a little choppy, and slightly hungry, for the second portion, as five DNFs were recorded, four of which again were due to a set of region corners. The lesson here, avoid a sim crossing at region corners as an avatar can not exist in four regions at once. Spectators were still thrilled to watch the racing at hand, as they flocked to the islands in the Genip and Ziziphus regions to cheer on the sailors. This weeks fleet, racing on the North Sea 02 and North Sea Circle courses, was comprised of majority of seven Bandit IFs. Two Bandit 25Rs made up the remainder of the fleet.

The fleets gets underway at the start of the second race of the North Sea Bandit Regatta, on Monday, April 22nd, 2019.

A new week and another original returns in The North Sea. The IF-Star-25R Regatta is once again the Bandit Regatta, which first graced the shores of Fruit Islands and North Sea back in 2015. Gone is the Star Class from the eligibility list, due to waning participation from that boat class. Returning to the eligibility list is the Bandit 50, Bandit 55, and Bandit 60. Therefore, the full breadth of the Bandit line of sail boats that enable manual sail trimming and SLSA race line compatibility is allowed (Bandit IF, Bandit 25, Bandit 50, Bandit 55, and Bandit 60 inclusive). Please see the North Sea Handicap Table for handicap values for each boat.

With the return of the Bandit Regatta, the waters of the North Sea treated the sailors with a bumpy welcome, as four DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded during the first race. However, the seas calmed as only one DNF was recorded during the second race. Spectators were treated to some great racing, as they gathered along the shores of the islands in the Genip region and Ziziphus region. This weeks fleet was comprised of a majority of seven Bandit IFs, with three Bandit 25Rs making up the remainder.

Bingo Strait foisted finicky foul weather conditions for this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta. Three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day, all during the first race, a two lap affair on the BBYC Up And Down course, due to rough region conditions in Bingo Strait. However, the regions settled down as better sailing weather blew in for the second race, a run on BBYC Olympic Race Course (Short), with the entire fleet finishing. This weeks fleet was comprised of an even split of three Bandit IFs and three Bandit 25Rs for race one . Rossafiore took her leave with her Bandit 25R after the conclusion of race one, with ViV joining the fleet for race two, in her The Mesh Shop Star Class.

“If there is a series score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.“

Skipper	Best Finish	Next Best Finish
blondij Resident	1	4
RedHeadJO Resident	2	3

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Daenerys’s favor with having a first place finish over Red’s second place finish as her best.
