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.

The fleet gets underway during the start of the first race for the Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta on Monday, March 25th, 2019.

Another great crowd of spectators turned up as the water front in the Twice Bitten region as well as the committee boat dock in the Woodfall region were packed. The crowds took in some great neck and neck racing between Laured and Astrid, both in bandit 25Rs, in race one and race two, until Laured crashed, receiving a DNF. Daenerys, with Sasha crewing, in her Bandit IF, also put up a tough fight against Max, with Wyndi crewing, in his Bandit IF, in race one, and against Moon, in his Bandit IF, in race two. This weeks fleet, racing on the BBYC Up and Down (2 Laps) course and BBYC Olympic Course (Short), was comprised of a majority of four Bandit 25Rs with a remainder of three Bandit IFs.

Moon (moonglownight Resident), Vick (Vick Forcella), and Rossafiore (rossamare Resident) all finished tied with 10 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
moonglownight Resident	3	7
Vick Forcella	5	5
rossamare Resident	5	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 third place finish over Vick’s five point finish and Rossafiore’s five point finish as their best. Subsequently, as Vick and Rossafiore both have the same finishes in each race, five point finishes in both races respectively, neither Rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing will satisfy in breaking this tie. Therefore, Vick and Rossafiore remain tied in sixth overall.
