On the dock: Gabi, Kurt, Nenrio, Merco, Petra, and Peachie.

This weeks Trudeau Patchogue II Class Racing was the final event in the Eden Trudeau Regatta Week. We saw a great turnout with storm of sim in the first race but clearing weather in the second race. We also saw another great spectator turnout, with many showing up along the beach in the Eden Albatros region, at the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Puffin region, the committee boat dock in the Breadnut region, and along the beaches of Lighthouse Isle in the Ziziphus region.

The first race, on the North Sea Butterfly course, got off to a great start. However, towards the final leg of the course, as every racer entered the Nectarine region, they crashed. All recorded DNFs and it was decided to abandon race 1 with no points awarded. The second race, on the North Sea Copacabana course, saw the sims performing marvelously as no DNFs were recorded and close exciting racing prevailed.

Race Note:
During race 1, the entire fleet crashed while entering the Nectarine region along the final leg of the course, subsequently recording DNF’s, and thus race 1 was abandonded with no points awarded. As such, todays regatta is therefore a 1 race event without points having to be awarded to determine the podium finshers as they are decided from the finish line order.

Trudeau Handicap Regatta – Dec 28th 2016

From the left (in boats): Peter (12 Metre), Cryptic (Patchogue II), Joshua (Patchouge II), Christine (Patchogue II), Lampoon (Leetle Cat II), Red (patchogue II), Carlota (Trudeau One), Cole (12 Metre), Kristaly (Francois Jacques), and Lucy (Francois Jacques).
On the dock: Nenrio, Peachie and Petra.

This week, the North Sea Open Regatta became the Trudeau Handicap Regatta as we held our third event for the Eden Trudeau Regatta Week. We had a fantastic turnout of Trudeau Classic Yachts in the fleet along with spectators gathering around the usual spots in the North Sea and Eden. We once again restarted all the North Sea estate sims 3 hours before the race to great results, as sailing was smooth with no crashes due to sim performance or crossings. We had large of spectators show up in Eden Albatros, Eden Puffin, Breadnut, and Ziziphus to view the classic yacht composed fleet.

This weeks special fleet, racing three races on North Sea Olympic Course (long), was comprised of a majority of four Patchouge IIs. Two Francois Jacques, two Trudeau Ones, two 12 Metres, and one Leetle Cat II made up the remainder of the fleet. The fleet along with the Trudeau collection, rezzed by Eden and North Sea estate owner Elbag Gable in the Eden Puffin region, created a truly elegant classic flair for the day.

Today’s winner was Lampoon (Lampoon Destiny), with Peter (PeterSailor Resident) second, and Lucy (LucyInTheSky Afarensis) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Note:
Cole (Colette Verino) and Red (RedHeadJO Resident) both finished tied with 21 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	Next Best Finish
Colette Verino	1	9	11
RedHeadJO Resident	6	7	8

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

 

Francois Jacques Class Race – December 26th 2016

Moon, Kristaly, and Christine, crossing the start line as the second race of the Francois Jacques Class Races, in the North Sea, gets under way on Monday, December 26th, 2016.

The Francois Jacques Class Race kicked off the Eden Trudeau Regatta Week with a nice turnout of spectators and some great sailing sim weather. The elegant Trudeau Francois Jacques was featured in today’s races and plenty of spectators turned up in Eden Alabtros, Eden Puffin, Breadnut, and Ziziphus to watch. The sims themselves, restarted just three hours previous to the race start (our now normal procedure for race days in The North Sea estate), lay calm and provided for some smooth racing.

From the left (in Trudeau Francois Jacques): Christine, Moon, and Kristaly.
On the dock: Nernio, Niki, Cryptic, Tammie, Petra, Arwen, Timo, and Rayz.

Race Note:

“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
moonglownight Resident	2	1
kristaly Resident	1	2

In the last race, Moon breaks the tie with Kristaly with his first place finish over Kristaly’s second place finish.
