North Sea Open Regatta – January 4th 2017

From the left (in boats): Cryptic (Dolphin Moth), Neil (Bandit IF), Rulette (Bandit IF), Ulla (Patchogue II), Carlota (Bandit IF), Jackson (Bandit IF), Lucy (Melges-24), Asami and Kurt (Teleri MX 20), and Kristaly (Melges-24).
On the dock: Nenrio, Kayla, Dean, Merco, Rose, Petra and Peachie.

The first North Sea Open Regatta of the year featured a nice turnout, really great racing, and smooth sim weather. We had a nice turnout with a large fleet for both races. The racing was fast and competitive as several crossed the line within seconds of each other during the first race. Plus, the sims behaved well as we only had one DNF recorded for both races, due to a crash. We also had a nice gathering of spectators at the committee boat dock, in the Breadnut region, as well as nice crowds along the beach in the Eden Albatros region, on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Puffin region, and along the shores of Lighthouse Isle in the Ziziphus region.

The small boat fleet, racing on the NS-SOL-13A course, was made up of a majority of five Bandit IFs. Two Shields Class, two Melges-24s, a Ktaba 20 MX Teleri, a Trudeau Patchogue II, and a Dolphin Moth made up the remainder of the small boat fleet. Racing got off to a nice start with Kristaly, in her Melges-24, crossing the start line first at 00:00:02. I followed Kristaly, in my Dolphin Moth, as I crossed the line next at 00:00:07. Carlota, in her Bandit IF, was right on my stern, crossing the line at 00:00:12. Jackson, in his Bandit IF, was next to cross the line at 00:00:23. Lucy, in her Melges-24, was across the start line next at 00:00:24. Neil, in his Bandit IF, and Rulette, in her Bandit IF, were both next across the start line, at 00:00:34 and 00:00:35 respectively. Circular, in her Shields Class, was across the start line next at 00:01:04 with Moon, in his Shields Class, and Dess, in her Bandit IF, both right after at 00:01:06. Asami, in her Teleri, was next to cross at 00:01:08, with Ulla, in her Patchogue II, crossing the start line at 00:04:22. The fleet spread out as my speedier Dolphin Moth took me quickly to the front. Kristaly, in her Melges-24, held her pace right behind me as Lucy, in her Melges-24, passed the slightly slower Bandit IF’s of both Carlota and Jackson to take up position in third. Circular and Moon, both in their Shields Class, passed the slower Bandit IFs as well, and took up position behind Kristaly and Lucy. The Bandit IF pack stayed a bit tight as Carlota, Rulette, Jackson, Neil and Dess all jockeyed for position. Asami, in her Teleri, made moves to get through the Bandit IF pack getting almost neck and neck with Carlota. Unfortunately, Ulla, in her Patchogue II, crashed and had to record a DNF, the only one for the day. I held my quick pace and crossed the finish line first, taking line honors. Kristaly, was next to cross the finish line with Lucy right after her. Next up was Circular, Moon, Carlota and Asami, all crossing the finish line within seconds of each other making for an exciting finish. Rulette was next to cross the finish line, as she just edged across the line 1 second before Jackson, who was right on her stern. Neil was next across the finish line with Dess coming in right after him.

The big boat fleet, racing on the NS-1b course, was comprised of a majority of three Wildwind RC-44s. Two Trudeau 12 Metres and a TMS Ushuaia made up the remainder of the big boat fleet. Racing got off to a really quick start as 4 of the 6 boats in the fleet were across the start line before 10 seconds had ticked off on the race clock. Dess, in her Wildwind RC-44, and Rulette, in her Trudeau 12 Metre, got things started as they both crossed the line together at 00:00:2. I was next, in my TMS Ushauia, crossing the start line at 00:00:04. Lucy, in her Wildwind RC-44, was across the start line next at 00:00:05. Isilme, with Circular as crew in his Trudeau 12 Metre, was next across the start line at 00:00:59. Moon, in he Wildwind RC-44, was the next to cross the start line, crossing at 00:02:11. The faster Wildwind RC-44s quickly took to the lead of the fleet, as Lucy and Dess took first and second position at the front. Moon, also in a Wildwind RC-44, used the boats speed to try and catch up from his late start, working his way up to position just behind Lucy and Dess. Next up was the Trudeau 12 Metre pack, with Rulette settling in just in front of Isilme, with Circular as crew. I took up a spot just behind the 12 Metres in my slower TMS Ushuaia. Lucy held her lead as she was the first to cross the finish line, followed by Dess a mere 9 seconds after her. Moon was next to cross the finish line, followed by Rulette, Isilme with Circular, and then finally me.

On the dock: Jene, Karen, Peachie, and Petra.

This weeks North Sea Open Regatta featured a varied fleet and some decent sim weather. The fleets in both portions of the regatta saw a nice variety of boats with no dominant majority from anyone class. The sims behaved with only 1 DNF in the small boats portion and 2 DNFs in the big boats portion recorded. Spectators again turned out in impressive numbers along the coast of the Eden Alabatros region, the beaches along Lighthouse Isle in the Ziziphus region, at the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Puffin region, and at the committee boat dock in the Breadnut region.

The small boat fleet, racing a 2 lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was made up of a triple majority of two Quest Melges-24s, two Bandit IFs, and two Shields Class. A Dolphin Moth, a TMS Nacra 17, a Ktaba 20 MX Teleri, and a Trudeau Patchogue II made up the remainder of the small boat fleet. Things got off really quickly as the entire fleet was over the start line before the race timer ticked off 20 seconds. Lucy, in her Melges-24, was across first with an almost perfect 00:00:01 followed by myself, in my Dolphin Moth, Asami, in her Teleri, and Kurt, in his Patchogue II, all at 00:00:02. Kirstaly, in her Shields Class, was next to cross at 00:00:03 followed by Beane, in her Melges-24, and Neil, in his Bandit IF, both at 00:00:04. Traeumer, in his Shields Class, was next to cross at 00:00:10 followed by Carlota, in her Bandit IF, at 00:00:16, and Cole, in her Nacra 17, at 00:00:19. I quickly jumped out in front, in my speedier Dolphin Moth, to pace the fleet with, Beane, in her Melges-24, Cole, in her Nacra 17, and Lucy, in her Melges-24, falling in right behind me. Kristaly, in her Shields Class, settled in the middle of the pack with Asami, in her Teleri 2, Carlota, in her Bandit IF, Neil, in his Bandit IF, and Kurt, in his Patchogue II, all falling in behind her. Traeumer unfortunately crashed and recorded a DNF. The fleet order held from there with myself crossing the finish line first, followed by Beane, Cole, Lucy, Kristaly, Asami, Carlota, Neil, and finally Kurt.

The big boat fleet, racing on the North Sea Inner Outer Loop (NS-OIL Rev1) course, was made up of a split majority two Wildwind RC-44s, and two TMS One Design 65s. The remainder of the big boat fleet was comprised of a Trudeau 12 Metre, a Bandit 55, and a TMS Ushuaia. The big boat portion start was almost as quick as the small boat portion, with the vast majority of the fleet crossing the start line before 30 seconds. Cole, in her Trudeau 12 Metre, and Lucy, in her Wildwind RC-44, got things started with both crossing the start line at 00:00:06. Beane, in her One Design 65, was next to cross at 00:00:08 followed by myself, in my Ushuaia, at 00:00:18. Traeumer, in his RC-44, was next to cross the start line at 00:00:20, with new comer to North Sea racing Jene, in her One Design 65, following at 00:00:30, and Riv, in his Bandit 55, crossing at 00:01:16. Beane, in her faster One Design 65, quickly jumped into the lead with Lucy and Traeumer, each in their own just as speedy RC-44s, falling in right behind her. Jene, in her One Design 65, settled in right behind them with myself, in my Ushuaia, following along behind. Cole, in her Trudeau 12 Metre, and Riv, in his Bandit 55, both unfortunately crashed and recorded DNFs. Beane held her lead, crossing the finish line first followed by Lucy, Traeumer, Jene, and then myself.

North Sea Open Regatta – November 2nd 2016

The small boat fleet gets under way during the North Sea Open Regatta, on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016.

This weeks North Sea Open Regatta saw fair sim weather, a great turnout, and even some new racers. The sims behaved well as only one DNF was recorded in each portion of the regatta. The turn out was again large as the small boat fleet was 15 boats strong. We also welcome Ali to racing in SL and in the North Sea as a new racer, along with Trey, who started racing with us last week.

The small boat fleet, racing on the NS-SOL-13A course, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit IFs. Three Shields Class, two Wildwind RC-44s (which were allowed to race as an exception), a Nacra 17, a Melges-24, and a Kataba MX 20 Teleri made up the remainder of the small boat fleet.

The big boat fleet, racing on the NS-1b course, was made up of a majority of four Wildwind RC-44s. Three TMS Ushuaias, two ACA33s, and a Rene Marine RM30 made up the remainder of the big boat fleet.

More pictures from the race after the results.

Today’s winner was Stu (stuart1524 Resident), with Ian (ollyian1 Resident) second, and Carlota (Carlota Dufaux) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Prize plaques will be awarded for the first, second, and third place finishers based on the final points tally.

Race Note:
Trey (Trayla Parx) and Ali (Alica Weezles), being new racers, were allowed an exception to race their RC-44s, a big boat, in the small boat portion of the regatta. As they both raced with identical race ids, the start line only recorded the first instance of that ID to cross both times*. As such, we were not able to capture Trey’s starting time for the small boat race. However, he did finish with a DNF in the small boat race and receives those points. We were able to capture Trey’s and Ali’s full times for the big boat race.
*You must race with a unique race ID (e.g. not used by anyone else) to have the start line capture your times.

North Sea Open Regatta – October 26th 2016

From the left (in boats): Cryptic (Dolphin Moth), Kurt (Bandit IF), Susi (Bandit IF), Dess (Shields Class), Asami (Ktaba 20 MX Teleri), Neil (Bandit IF), Carlota (Bandit IF), Lucy (Melges-24), Jackson (Bandit IF), Josh (Dolphin Moth), Stu and Kate (Bandit IF), Peter (Laser One), and Kristaly (Shields Class).
On the dock: Ulla, Beane, and Petra.

Another record tying turnout featured in this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. This weeks turnout tied last weeks record turnout, with 18 boats showing up to race in the small boat fleet. We also had another great spectator turnout as the popular viewing spots of the Poseidon Center Spectator Pier in Eden Puffin, the shore in Eden Albatros, the committee boat dock in Breadnut, and the beaches of Lighthouse Isle in Ziziphus all had crowds watching the races. The sims themselves were relatively behaved as only a few DNFs were attributed to crossing crashes. The other DNFs were what Petra calls ‘corner tickling’, sailing right into the corner intersection of four sims.

The small boat fleet, racing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of seven Bandit IFs. Three Shields Class, two Dolphin Moths, two Melges-24s, a Ktaba 20 MX Teleri, a Laser One, a Nacra 17, and a Flying Shadow made up the remainder of the small boat fleet. Racing got off to a quick start as half the small boat fleet was across the start line in 30 seconds. Peter, in his Laser One, recorded a nearly perfect start at 00:00:01. Kristaly, in her Shields Class, followed next at 00:00:03. Lucy, in her Melges-24, was next to cross at 00:00:05 with Beane, in her Melges-24, in tow at 00:00:06. I was next to cross, in my Dolphin Moth, right along with Stu, in his Bandit IF with Kate, both of us at 00:00:07. Cole, in her Nacra 17, was next to cross at 00:00:20 with ViV, in her Flying Shadow, right behind at 00:00:24. Jackson, in his Bandit IF, was next across at 00:00:29 with Joshua, in his Dolphin Moth, right behind at 00:00:31. Kurt, in his Bandit IF, was across next at 00:00:40 with Asami, in her Ktaba MX 20 Teleri, in tow at 00:00:45. Traeumer, in his Shields Class, was next to cross at 00:00:49 with Carlota, in her Bandit IF, crossing at 00:00:52. Cranston, in his Bandit IF with Shaylin, was across next at 00:00:54 while Neil, in his Bandit IF, crossed at 00:01:13. Susi, in her Bandit IF, crossed next at 00:01:45, with Dess, in her Shields Class, crossing at 00:02:28. I jumped out to the lead, in my speedy Dolphin Moth, pacing the pack as Joshua, in his Dolphin Moth, settled in right behind me. Beane, in her Melges-24, settled into third in the fleet as Cole, in her Nacra 17, and ViV, in her Flying Shadow, fell in right behind her. Peter, in his Laser One, after that jump on the start, fell behind to the quicker boats, to settle in behind the catamarans. Asami, in her Ktaba 20 MX Teleri, passed several of the slower Bandit IFs that started ahead of her to stay on Peter’s stern. Dess, in her Shields Class, coming from behind in her start fell in right behind Asami. Next up was the Bandit IF pack, with Carlota leading the small pack as Jackson fell in behind her. Neil was right behind as Cranston, with Shaylin, Kurt, and Susi all falling in behind him. Kristaly, in her Shields Class, Lucy, in her Melges-24, Stu, in his Bandit IF with Kate, and Traeumer, in his Shields Class, all met the crashing fate and unfortunately recorded DNFs. I held the pack lead, in my Dolphin Moth, and crossed the finish line first, taking line honors with Joshua, in his Dolphin Moth, crossing the finish line second. Beane, in her Melges-24, was next to cross third, as Cole, in her Nacra 17, and Viv, in her Flying Shadow, crossed right after her, 12 and 16 seconds apart, respectively. Peter, in his Laser One, was next to cross the finish line, with Asami, in her Ktaba 20 MX Teleri, and Dess, in her Shields Class, crossing right behind. The bandit IF pack was next to finish, as Carlota, Jackson, Neil, Cranston with Shaylin, Kurt and Susi all crossed the line.

The big boat fleet, racing on the North Sea Butterfly course, was made up of a majority four TMS Ushuaias. Three Wildwind RC-44s, a Trudeau 12 Metre, an ACA33, a Wildwind AC45, a TMS One Design 65, and a Bandit 60 all made up the remainder of the big boat fleet. This race got off to a quick start just like the first, as Peter, in his Trudeau 12 Metre, not satisfied with his 1 second laser One start recorded a perfect 00:00:00 start. Beane, in her TMS One Design 65, was next across the start line at 00:00:03. Viv, in her Wildwind AC45, was next to cross at 00:00:06. Lucy, in her Wildwind RC-44, crossed next at 00:00:14 as Stu, in his TMS Ushuaia with Kate, was right on Lucy’s stern, crossing at 00:00:15. I was next to cross, in my TMS Ushuaia, at 00:00:21 with Cranston, in his Bandit 60 with Shaylin, crossing right behind me at 00:00:22. Traeumer, in his Wildwind RC-44, was across next at 00:00:31 as Cole, in her ACA33, followed right behind at 00:00:37. Susi, in her TMS Ushuaia, was next to cross at 00:01:06, with both Joshua, in his TMS Ushuaia, and Dess, in her Wildwind RC-44, both crossing on Susi’s stern at 00:01:07. ViV, in her speedy Wildwind AC45, did not hesitate on her acceleration, getting up on her foils to take off and pace the fleet out front. Beane, in her TMS One Design 65, settled in her spot behind ViV, as Peter, in his slightly slower Trudeau 12 Metre, fell back behind Beane and Cole, in her ACA33, to the middle of the fleet. I was right behind Peter, in my TMS Ushuaia, with Cranston, in his Bandit 60 with Shaylin, and Susi, in her TMS Ushuaia, settling in right behind me. Lucy, in her Wildwind RC-44, Stu, in his TMS Ushuaia with Kate, Traeumer, in his Wildwind RC-44, Joshua, in his TMS Ushuaia, and Dess, in her Wildwind RC-44 all crashed. Lucy, Traeumer, and Joshua all recorded DNFs while Stu and Dess received DSQs due to missing the first course mark in the Sapote region. ViV held her lead, in her Wildwind AC45, and crossed the finish line first to take line honors. Beane, in her TMS One Design 65, crossed the finish line second with Cole, in her ACA33, crossing the line third. Peter, in his Trudeau 12 Metre, was next to cross the line. I crossed the line next, in my TMS Ushuaia, with Cranston, in his Bandit 60 with Shaylin, and Susi, in her TMS Ushuaia, crossing next.

Fair seas and a large turnout featured in this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The sim weather was fair with only two crashes recorded in the small boat race. We also had two DNF’s in the big boat race, although those where due to the physical world calling on those relevant sailors. I also directed this weeks regatta, with Petra stepping out due to physical world obligations. Petra will be back to direct next weeks open regatta.

The small boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Trapezoid, was nicely mixed. The fleet consisted of four Bandit IF’s, three Nacra 17’s, two Melges-24’s, a Flying Shadow, a Teleri 20, a HepCat, and a Shields Class. The race started with a clean start and no barging or port tacks at the line, a nice feet with such a large fleet. The fleet spread out across the course with the Nacra and Melges-24 pack finishing first and the IF pack near the rear. Lucy and Red unfortunately crashed and finished with DNF’s.

The big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Extreme, was made up of a split majority of three One Design 65’s and three Trudeau 12 Metre’s. The remainder of the fleet was made up of two AC45’s, a Bandit 55, and a rare showing of a Galiko NY32. Beane and Arya held close together, in their One Design 65’s, from the start to the finish, only finishing with 5 seconds separation. Alexandre wasn’t far behind in his One Design 65, his first outing here in his new big boat. Then came the 12 Metre pack with Kristaly crossing the line and a photo finish between Rulette and Jaime and one second between them. Finally, Riv, in his Bandit 55, and Kyreena, in her Galiko NY32 finished up in the rear. Cole and Viv, in their AC45’s both were DNF’s due to the physical world calling while they were on the course.

North Sea Open Regatta – May 18th 2016

From left (in boats): Gryfin (Bandit IF), Asami (Ktaba Teleri), Carlota (Bandit IF), Cole (Nacra 17), Rulette (Bandit IF), Cryptic (Dolphin Moth), and Jamie (Shields Class).
On the dock: Jacqui, Petra, and Josh.

This weeks North Sea Open Regatta, saw some nice sim weather with a decent turn out for both races. This week also marks the change of the regatta to the points system we use for our Bandit and Trudeau Regatta’s. Points will be awarded according to the final handicap adjusted finish in each race. Skippers who do not finish a race, or are disqualified score the number of boats in the race plus one. Points earned in both races will be combined and then the final placement will be sorted by lowest score. Point ties will be decided using Appendix A8 Series Ties from Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing. Prize plaques will be awarded for the first, second, and third place finishers based on the final points tally.

This weeks small boat fleet was made up of three Bandit IF’s, a Nacra 17, a Dolphin Moth, and a Shields Class. The small boat course, North Sea Circle, was lively and saw the fleet spread out across the North Sea. Unfortunately, Gryfin wound up hitting a corner in his IF and crashed to record a DNF for the race.

The big boat fleet featured three TMS Ushuaia’s, two Trudeau 12 Metre’s, a One Design 65, and a Loonetta 31. The course, North Sea Outer Inner Loop Rev1, was also lively for the big boats. The Ushuaia pack stayed tight through out the course with Rulette and Carlota exchanging positions just behind me. Palani, in his One Design 65, started last but rocketed through the fleet, eventually passing everyone to finish with line honors just ahead of Cole in her 12 Metre, who was racing very well up front.
