A calm mid-May Saturday was the scene for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We had six Bandit IFs at the start. Julie immediately took the lead, followed by Moon and Rugger. But, Julie and Moon quickly distanced themselves from Rugger, who in turn was chased by Siri. These two numbers would fight it out among themselves who would win against them.

In the second race, Moon took the lead but was followed by Rugger, Julie and Jack. The four of them went for the first mark. On the way to the second mark everyone had found their own line. The foursome had been caught up by Siri and Markis. However, two groups of three skippers emerged. Jack, Julie, and Moon as the frontrunners with Siri, Markis and Rugger as the second group. But that didn’t last long. Julie saw the chance to sail away from Jack and Moon. And Siri had connected with Jack. But on the way to the Melon region, the group fell apart and Moon joined Julie.

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

Another DNF, occurring during the second race, was also from a skipper deleting her boat after she realized her navigation HUD was not functioning. The remaining two DNFs, also occurring during the second race, were from skippers crashing while crossing over region corners.

In the second race Rugger, Red, Julie and Moon took the lead. Red followed by Siri sailing west of the Satsuma region, while the other sailors took the eastern route. This put Red in charge. She was followed by Julie and Moon. Moon slipped past Julie. Soon after, Moon took the lead, followed by Siri and Rugger. Julie had fallen behind because of bad luck. She didn’t give up and attacked Rugger and Jack. Meanwhile, Siri was also unlucky and Moon got the game thrown into his hands. However, Julie caught up with Jack and Rugger and gave chase to Moon. During the match, she slowly caught up with Moon. Would she succeed? Yes, in the Apricot region she had caught up with moon and taken over the lead.

Committee boat: Daenerys.
Dock: Cryptic, and Caethes.

The last North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for April, 2023, saw another wonderful Saturday afternoon. We had seven Bandit IFs at the start. Julie took the lead, followed closely by Jack, Rugger and Red. Just before the first mark, Siri took over third and Rugger fell back to fifth. Julie was still leading in the Sloe region. She was followed by Jack, Siri and Red. Towards the end of the race, Rugger attacked Red, but Red held him off.

In the second race, Siri was too early and he had to join behind. Red took the lead because of this, but she broke down. This put Jack in charge, closely followed by Julie and Moon. The three of them headed for the next race mark. Here Jack made a mistake and had to let Julie and Moon walk because of it. Julie and Moon would battle for first place. They were chased by rugger and Siri. They would compete for third place. Jack had fallen back to fifth

There were three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and one DSQ (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea. The three DNFs where caused by skippers who crashed at a region corners.

Today’s winners were Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Siri (Sirius Rosca) second, and Jack (Jacquimo Resident) in third place.

Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Moon (moonglownight Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for sailing an incorrect course, missing the first course mark, the green buoy in the Ziziphus region.

---

Moon (moonglownight Resident) and Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) both finished tied with 9 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing 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
moonglownight Resident	2	7
ruggeromare Resident	4	5

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