The committee boat dock, as well as the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier, saw a large crowd of spectators take in the action from both races. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea 03 and North Sea 02 courses, was comprised of a majority of four Bandit IFs. Three Bandit 25Rs made up the remainder of the fleet.

At the time of this posting, the Neem region, a homestead region, has been replaced in The North Sea with Eden Curlew, a full region. The Green Fruit region has also been renamed to Eden Lapwing. Updated landmarks will be sent out in the North Sea Open Regatta race notecard, this Wednesday.

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.

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.

This adjusted schedule will last until March 31st, when the EU Summer Time adjustment takes effect.

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.

IF Star 25R Regatta – Feb 25th 2019

Turbulent sim sailing weather featured during this weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta. Specifically, one turbulent region, Farragut either ate or chewed every boat of the fleet resulting in four DNFs (Did Not Finish) across two races. This week was also Victor’s first as the sole Race Director at the helm of the race, as RL had other plans for me. All of Victor’s previous experience as a RD certainly paid off with handling unfortunate conditions that were on hand, in stride. This weeks fleet was comprised entirely of four Bandit 25Rs.

This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club IF Star 25R Regatta featured great sailing sim weather with some finicky course obstacles. The regions of the Bingo Strait continued their recent trend of smooth sim behavior as no DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day were attributed to sim conditions. The DNFs that did happen, one in each race, were due to water obstacles, in both cases the ram of the LL Roman ship build in the Nimitz region. The lesson here is to prepare as much as you can before hand and learn the area you are sailing in to acclimate to the water obstacles present. This weeks fleet, sailing on the BBYC 01 and BBYC 11 courses, was comprised of a majority of three Bandit 25Rs with two Bandit IFs making up the remainder.

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.

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.

Therefore, Vick and Rossafiore remain tied in sixth overall.
