Mostly calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as four DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Three DNFs, two in the small boat portion and one in the big boat portion, were from skippers crashing while crossing over regions corners. The remaining DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was from a skipper having connection issues. The crowds that assembled on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, relished a peppy display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing a three lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing crewed and one single-handed respectively, one TMS Nacra 17, one TMS Sea Boss – Rider, and one Trudeau HepCat rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a split majority of three WildWind Open 60s, and three TMS I-Mocca 60s.

The later DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was also from a skipper pulling his boat, this time from frustration on the course. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, took in a thrilling display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were well behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Both DNFs, occurring during the small boat portion, were due to skippers connections dying on them during the race. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on a competitive display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Half Mane Mirror course, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively, one TMS Flying Shadow, one TMS Nacra 17, one Bandit 25R, and one Quest 2m rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Double Loop course, was made up of a majority of three TMS I-Mocca 60s.

Race Notes:
Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the small boat portion tied at the finishing line with a time of 15:18. As their final time also remains tied, as they both sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to score this tie:

If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.

Therefore, both Rugger and Moon receive 4.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 4 and 5, added together and divided equally.


ViV (vivipezz Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the big boat portion for missing the last course mark before crossing the finish line, the orange buoy in the Eden Jakana region.


Sandra (WWWAAAA Resident) and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) both finished tied with 14 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing 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
WWWAAAA Resident 6 8
Nicole Myhre 7 7

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


Vicky (Vicky4698 Resident) and Theresa (Resi Pfeffer) both finished tied with 22 points. As they both have the exact same finishes in each race, a DNF (Did Not Finish) for the small boat portion and a DNS (Did Not Start) for the big boat portion, neither Rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking this tie. Therefore, Vicky and Theresa remain tied in twelfth place overall.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Open Regatta for March, 2023. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were mostly behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, occurring during the small boat portion, was due to a skipper experiencing a rough crossing. The second DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was from a skipper pulling her boat after she realized her control gestures were mixed up. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, savored a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Half Mane course, was made up of a split majority of four Bandit 22 LTEs and four The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, three sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively. Two TMS Sea Boss – Riders, one TMS Nacra 17, and one Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Outer Inner Loop (OIL) course, was made up of a small split majority of two Trudeau 12 Metres and two TMS I-Mocca 60s. One TMS Volvo Open 70, one TMS One Design 65, one WildWind RC44R, one Isard Machichaco, and one TMS Ocean Beach rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

With a fresh breeze of 18 knots coming in from the southwest, The North Sea regions were a bit stormy during the small boat portion, as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded. All three DNFs were due to skippers crashing on region crossings. The storm clouds blew away for the big boat portion as every skipper finished. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.
