The lone DNF came from a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners in the second race. The crowds that assembled along the shores on the islands in the Ziziphus, and Genip regions, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, enjoyed an enthused display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea 02 and North Sea 01 courses, was made up of a majority of eight Bandit IFs, seven sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively. Three Bandit 22 LTEs, and one Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on a slightly stormy Saturday afternoon in February. We had six bandit IFs at the start. One Bandit IF had crew on board.

The fleet set out with Julie in the lead. Moon, Siri and Darb at an appropriate distance. As the match progressed, Moon and Siri joined Julie. Darb and Marcus soon became distant.

At the start of the second race, Julie took the lead again. She was immediately followed by Siri, Moon, and Rugger. Halfway through the race, a storm (https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/qjsnz431kdqm) was created by SL™. This caused Julie, and Siri to lose their way. Moon, and Rugger took advantage of this. Julie, and Siri had to pull out all the stops to reconnect with Moon, and Rugger. Rugger was still overtaken, but Moon had the lead for good

Finally, it was time. The third and final race of the day. The storm had passed again. And a seventh sailor joined the party. This time it was crowded at the starting line. Moon, Julie, Siri, Jack, and Rugger left almost simultaneously. The quintet headed for the first mark in good spirits. Here Julie took the lead. Moon followed in her wake. Jack had to drop out. At the turning point, Julie was still in charge. She wouldn’t let this one go

There was one DNF (Did Not Finish) and two DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Bandit IF Regatta – August 13th 2022

From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Emi & Nicole, Moon, Red & Kim, Rugger, Siri, Zero, and Julie. Committee boat: Daenerys. Dock: Tamarushka.

Another beautiful Saturday afternoon in August was the scene for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We started with seven Bandit IFs. Two of the seven bandit IFs had crew on board.

At the start of the first race, three skippers immediately took a slight lead. By the second mark the leading group had fallen apart. The four skippers who stayed behind had connected with the skipper who sailed in third place. However, by the end of the next mark, he took over the second place. During the remainder of the race, the fleet broke in two again and the first three skippers took a big lead over the rest. This lead was never relinquished. Sadly, after this race, a skipper had to cancel the following races due to bad luck.

In the second race we left with seven Bandit IFs. The skippers soon chose their own path to the first mark. And there it turned out that the fleet was still close together. Two groups of three skippers were formed, but the distance between the two groups remained small. The skippers in the groups turned out to be evenly matched. This made it an exciting race. Things got even more exciting when the second group caught up with the first group. Now we had the whole fleet of six boats together again. One skipper had to let the other five go, and in the Guanabana region channel, we had four leaders who did not yield an inch to the other skippers. At the last mark a skipper got stuck in a sandbank and another skipper had to let the other two skippers go.

And there was still a final race to go and a new skipper came forward, so we were again with seven boats.
At the start of the third race, one skipper started on port and the other on starboard tack, the first skipper calculated this correctly and immediately took the lead. The fleet had to set sail to catch up with the first skipper. At the first mark they had done that, a fleet of six boats, the seventh boat had fallen a bit behind, they were heading for the turning point. However, this match would go smoothly again.

There were no DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Bandit Regatta – Aug 1st 2022

From the left (in boats): Emilio and Niem (Bandit 22 LTE), Ester (Bandit 22 LTE), Sirius (Bandit IF), Max and Wyndi (Bandit IF), Fil (Bandit 22 LTE), Jenna (Bandit 22 LTE), Moon (Bandit 22 LTE), and Zimtzicke (Bandit 22 LTE).
On the race committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, Henry, Caethes, and Sharon.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Bandit Regatta for August, 2022. The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as four DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Three DNFs were due to skippers crashing while crossing over region corners. The remaining DNF was due to a skipper’s router causing him connection issues during the second race, resulting in him pulling his boat. The crowds that gathered on the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, as well as on 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 fleet, sailing on the North Sea 02 and North Sea 01 courses, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, split evenly with one crewed and one single-handed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.
