IF Star 25R Regatta – Mar 11th 2019

From the left (in boats): Daenerys and Red (Bandit IF), Rossafiore (Bandit 25r), Laured (Bandit 25r), Max and Wyndi (Bandit 25r), Astrid (Bandit 25r), and Nihiwatu (Bandit IF).
On the dock: Cryptic and Victor.

This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta featured some choppy sim sailing weather and a nice fleet turnout. The regions in Bingo Strait started off behaving but turned lightly choppy as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day, two of which occurred during the second race as conditions worsened in the Muta region. This weeks fleet, racing on the BBYC 12 and BBYC Lighthouse Race courses, was comprised of a majority of four Bandit 25Rs. Two Bandit IFs and one The Mesh Shop Star Class rounded out this weeks fleet.

Note: With the onset of DST in the United States, Canada, and most of Mexico this past Sunday, SL time (PST) is now one hour ahead (PDT). However, Europe will not be hitting EU Summer Time until March 31st. In order to facilitate that our races are still at a friendly time for our sailors, we will be running our races one SL hour ahead, but still at the same time Greenwich Mean Time and Central European Time. This adjusted schedule will last until March 31st, when the EU Summer Time adjustment takes effect.

Astrid, in her Bandit 25r, crosses the finish line followed by Laured, in her Bandit 25r, during the first race of the Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25 Regatta, on Monday, March 11th, 2019.

BBYC Open Regatta – Feb 27th 2019

From the left (in boats): Red (Bandit IF), Lia (TMS Flying Shadow), Nikki and Xarabethe (Bandit IF), Joshua and Jaslyn (Quest 2m), Max and Wyndi (Bandit 25r), and Rugger and Lara (TMS Star Class).
On the dock: Cryptic.

This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club Open Regatta saw some great sim sailing weather turn stormy. The Bingo Strait regions continued their recent two week trend of Jekyll and Hyde region behavior with the lone DNF (Did Not Finish) on the day, during the big boat portion, the result of the Farragut region eating Joshua, his boat, a The Mesh Shop (TMS) Ushuaia, and his crew, Jaslyn. Joshua and Jaslyn would reappear several minutes later, with his boat apparently still residing in Farragut’s belly. The small boat portion saw no region crossing troubles as everyone finished.

This weeks small boat fleet, racing on the BBYC 03 course, was comprised of slim majority of two Bandit IFs. One Quest 2m, one TMS Flying Shadow, and one Bandit 25r made up the remainder of the small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, racing on the BBYC Lighthouse Race course, was comprised entirely of two TMS Ushuaias. A third boat, a Wildwind AC-45, had attempted to setup for the big boat portion however her race ID would not display on her hulls, after repeated attempts to set race wind, and therefore was not allowed to race*.

*As a note, Wildwind boats display their race ID on their hulls when race wind from a WWC setter is set. If a Wildwind created boat cannot display it’s race ID on its hull, then it won’t be allowed to race in a BBYC race as it can’t be verified that it is indeed using the race wind set by the race director and therefore racing fairly against the other boats in the fleet.

Race Director: Cryptic
Wind: SE (135°) 18kts

Note:
Did Not Finish (DNF) = number of finish +1
Did Not Start (DNS) = number of start +1

Today’s winner was Nikki (Nikki Lacrima), with Red (RedHeadJO Resident) second, and Joshua (JoshuaMason7 Resident) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Nikki (Nikki Lacrima), Red (RedHeadJO Resident). and Joshua (JoshuaMason7 Resident) all finished tied with 4 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
Nikki Lacrima	1	3
RedHeadJO Resident	1	3
JoshuaMason7 Resident	2	2

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie first breaks in Nikki’s and Red’s favor with having a first place finish over Joshua’s second place finish as his best. Subsequently, to further break the remaining tie between Nikki and Red, as they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
Nikki Lacrima	3	1
RedHeadJO Resident	1	3

In the last race, Nikki breaks the tie with Red with her first place finish over Red’s three point finish, from a DNS (Did Not Start). Therefore, Nikki ends up in first, with Red in second, and Joshua in third, in the tie breaking order.

Stormy conditions that turned calmer featured in this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta. The regions of Bingo Strait started out choppy as both DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day were recorded during the first race due to crashes from poor region stability. Conditions improved dramatically for the second race as every boat in the fleet finished with reports of smooth sailing sim weather. This weeks fleet, racing on BBYC Lighthouse Race and BBYC Olympic Course (Long), was comprised of a majority of five Bandit 25Rs with one lone Bandit IF making up the remainder of the fleet.

Note: The results have been updated after a final time sorting error was corrected in the second race.

This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club Open Regatta showcased a great crowd of spectators and sailors with smooth sailing weather. Spectators turned out in force again as the water front to the villa in the Twice Bitten region was crowded as well as the spectator pier and committee boat dock in the Woodfall region. The regions of Bingo Strait responded in kind with smooth sailing weather as the only DNF (Did Not Finish) on the day was due to the scripts in Nico’s Bandit 50 ceasing to function.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on BBYC Olympic Course (Long), was comprised of majority of five Bandit 25Rs.

However, Moon, who had the only DNF on the day, disconnected in the middle of the de Grasse region and did not log back in for the rest of the regatta. Spectator turnout was nice with crowds gathered at the spectator areas in the Twice Bitten and Woodfall regions as well as on the small committee boat dock.

Alexandre (ramuf Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished tied with 6 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
ramuf Resident	2	4
moonglownight Resident	3	3

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