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.

Smoother sailing sim weather featured during this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta. The regions in Bingo Strait settled down this week, after two previous weeks of stormy sim sailing weather with only one DNF (Did Not Finish) on the day due to region crossings (the skippers connection was acting up as well). The regatta’s courses were also planned to avoid the Farragut region, which is still in a bad state of affairs and has had several trouble tickets submitted to LL over it’s condition. The other DNF on the day was due to the physical world grabbing Moon mid-race during the second race. This weeks fleet, racing on the BBYC 03 and BBYC Up And Down courses, was comprised of a majority of four Bandit IFs. One lone Bandit 25r made up the remainder of the fleet.

On the dock: Joshua, Cryptic, Caethes, Victor, Rossafiore, JoJo, and Red.

Great spectator turnout and close racing featured during this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta. 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.

Today’s winner was Daenerys (blondij Resident), with Astrid (AstridNewBonham Resident) second, and Laured (laured Cabassoun) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Rossafiore (rossamare Resident) failed to round the committee boat buoy correctly to record her first lap at the start line, during race 1, and was disqualified (DSQ) for incorrect course.

---

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.

 

Cat Fight – Sept 14th 2018

From the left (in boats): Isab and Laured (TMS Flying Shadow), Rayz and Lanky (TMS Flying Shadow), Julnara and Equen (TMS Flying Shadow), Sandra (TMS Flying Shadow), Moon (TMS Flying Shadow), and Blair (TMS Nacra 17).
On the dock: Arwen, Serenity, Cryptic, Tracey, Porter, Missy, Cybel, Joshua, and Berry.

This weeks Cat Fight at Backwater Bay Yacht Club saw some great sailing weather, spectator turnout, and some commotion. The Bingo Strait regions continued their recent streak of smooth sim behavior as no DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day were due to crashes. However, the DNFs that were recorded on the day were actually to sailors ignoring an instruction during the skippers meeting before the first race, repeated again right before the race clock was started, that the race line was set to one direction and what direction to cross in order to record a lap. Four sailors in the first race crossed the race line in the incorrect direction and thus did not finish the race. All of the preceding played out in front of a rather enthusiastic crowd that had gathered to watch the races on the race dock in the Woodfall region. The second race saw no such commotion, with the entire fleet, comprised of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows and one TMS Nacra 17, finishing the race.
