The last North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for February, 2023, took place on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. We had six bandit IFs at the start. One bandit IF had crew on board. Later, two more skippers joined the fleet.

Julie took the lead in the first race. Followed by Moon and Siri. They would fight fiercely for the top three places. During the race, two skippers broke down.

During the second race, Siri took the lead, but it was soon taken over by Moon. Julie broke down but was still able to resume her race. Two other skippers had to give up during the race.

It had to happen in the last race. Julie immediately took the head and did not give it away. Siri went into battle with Moon. Jack managed to take advantage of this and took second place. He would have to defend this place in the course of the race, because Moon didn’t leave him alone. Siri, meanwhile, was battling Rugger for fourth place.

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

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on a beautiful mid-August Saturday afternoon. We started with seven Bandit IFs. One of the seven Bandit IFs had crew on board. At the start of the first race, the entire fleet sailed towards the first mark. There, Rugger, Zero, and Julie pushed to be the first to round this one. They were followed shortly by Moon. Then Darb, Siri and Jack followed. In that order, they sailed toward the third and fourth marks. Here Moon had bad luck and Siri connected with Julie, Zero and Rugger. Jack hooked up at the end of the race too, but then Julie had taken a slight lead over Zero and Rugger.

In the second race, a new skipper reported and we started with eight Bandit IFs. A group of five skippers, including Moon, Jack, Rugger, Julie and Zero, had a slight lead as we approached the canal in the Guanabana region. The passage was tight. En route to the North Sea, Rugger had taken the lead and was being chased by Zero, Julie, Moon and Siri. Just before Sloe, Rugger was caught up by his pursuers. Here Julie and Moon took the lead. Julie distanced himself from moon and the foursome behind Julie would compete for second to fifth place. 10 meters before the finish, disaster struck for Rugger. He crashed on a corner and his ship went in circles. In the end he finished seventh.

With one race to go, Julie could take it easy, but she didn’t. At the start she took the lead and Rugger tried a different tack and started from port. Arriving at the first mark, Julie was still in the lead and was chased by Moon, Siri and Max. Rugger followed in fifth. On the way to the Nectarine region, Max was overtaken by Rugger and Zero. Jack stayed a bit behind. At the statues of Eden, Max caught up with Rugger again. On the finish line Jack and Rugger made it exciting for sixth place

There was one DNF (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through all the races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Saturday saw a beautiful afternoon in the winter. This time we had a fleet of ten Bandit IF’s at the start. Two of the eight Bandit IFs had crews. The North Sea and Fruit regions behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky. We thought so.

In the first race had a nice start. A skipper already took the lead. Behind her came a group of five Bandits who wanted to sail together past the first mark. This went extremely well. During the race, the skippers distanced themselves from the other four. However, another skipper had joined the four other boats. As a result, the group continued to consist of 5 boats. As the race progressed, the group slowly fell apart. The two front runners had got their hands on their position.

In the second race, everything seemed to be going well, until a region worked against it. As a result, the race had to be re-started. However, some skippers did not immediately respond to a restart. After the restart of the second race, we immediately had five boats in the lead. The five skippers would compete for first place

In the third and final race of the day we had a compact fleet of eight boats. Because the skippers each sailed a different line to the first mark, groups soon arose. And it soon became clear who was going to win this third race.

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

The last Saturday in July saw a beautiful summer afternoon for racing. This time we had a fleet of nine Bandit IF’s at the start. One of the nine Bandit IF’s had crew and it had to drop out at the first start. The North Sea and Fruit regions behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky.

Today we would sail three races. In the first race, the fleet would stay together until the third leg. Then groups arose, eventually becoming groups of duos. We would see this happen in the other two races. At the second race we had a compact fleet until we approached the first mark. There, two skippers lost control of the boat, but would later recover. One of the two skippers then held a catch-up race, which created a group of two with the pursuers. In the third race, the fleet spread out to the first mark, only to come together again, creating duos right away.

We had two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and none DSQs (Disqualified) through all races and it was another successful and sporting day in The North Sea.

Saturday afternoon was a beautiful windy winter day. The last bandit IF Regatta of 2021. This week, we had a fleet of thirteen Bandit IFs at the start, two of the thirteen Bandit IFs had crews. The North Sea and Fruit regions behaved reasonably well.

From the start of the first race we had a leading group of seven boats. At the first island the entire fleet was together again, with four boats slightly ahead of the rest. At the second island, the four boats had slightly increased the distance to the rest of the fleet. Between the second and the third island, mutual fighting arose and when we emerged from Fruit towards the North Sea we still had four boats in the lead. Behind it was a loner with four pursuers behind it. The place for fourth and fifth place would be decided at the finish.

After the start of the second race we had a group of ten boats sailing towards the first mark. Two skippers decided to sail a different route to the first mark. This gave us a group of five, two loners and a group of three who followed the first five boats. The rear two of the front runners turned first towards the first mark. Then the other three followed. This shook up the order of the leading group. When we arrived at the third mark we still had a leading group of four boats, from these four boats the winner would come.

I want to thank all skippers for participating in the competitions or the North Sea and wish you a prosperous 2021. Hopefully we will see each other again in the new year.

We had two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporting day in The North Sea.

Race Notes:
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 16:51. As their final time also remains tied, as they both sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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 Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) receive 3.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 3 and 4, added together and divided equally.


Jack (Jacquimo Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) both finished tied with 18 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
Jacquimo Resident 6 12
Maximiliano Szondi 9 9

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Jack’s favor with having a sixth place finish over Max’s ninth place finish as his best.


Cilian (Cilian McCullough ) and Juicy (juice651 Resident) both finished tied with 22 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.

A beautiful Saturday afternoon, after a beautiful summer, and it was time to pick up the thread again as we returned to full courage with the Bandit IF competitions. There was good sailing weather with no sign of a thunderstorm. This time we had nine Bandit IFs, including one with crew.

We had a good start and the fleet immediately disappeared between the islands of Fruit. Two skippers broke down and had to give up. However, a skipper had taken the lead not to relinquish it until the finish.

In the second race, a skipper left a little too quickly, so he had to return. The race would have a surprising course. Right from the start, two sailors were evenly matched and did not give each other a hair’s breadth. Another skipper took advantage of this, so she took the lead not to relinquish it. However, the fleet remained close to each other until the last mark, so that there was a fight for second place until the last.

We had three DNFs (Did Not Finish) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Saturday was a beautiful afternoon, in the middle of a hot summer, with beautiful sailing weather and no thunderstorms to be seen. This time we had six Bandit IFs, including none with crew.

We had a great start again. A boat slowly moved away from the fleet, this fleet stayed with each other for a long time. And this was spectacular in the narrow passages between the islands. Halfway through the race, the cards for the first two places were already shuffled. The battle would now go to third and fourth place.

In the second race it became quite tight with the Committee boat. The course of this race went much better than the start and here too a boat took the lead by slowly moving away from the rest of the fleet of four boats. This fleet would slowly expand into two groups of two boats. However, the leader of this game could no longer be overtaken.

We had no DNFs (Did Not Finish) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Saturday afternoon, tt was a beautiful day for sailing. This time we had eight Bandit IFs, including two with crew.
The North Sea regions behaved well. However, during the first race two tropical storms arose in the Fruit Islands waters.

We had a great and surprising start, with a group of three boats in the lead. However, they got the first storm in the Jambul region. After some survived the first storm, they were faced with the second storm in the Feijoa region. This quickly thinned the fleet.

The second race started with a nice start and the fleet remained close together until the last buoy. It was a competition that an RD prefers. No violations and everyone behaved on the water.

We had three DNFs (Did Not Finish) through both races, however it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.
