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 stormy fall afternoon. This time we had a fleet of eight Bandit IFs at the start. Two of the eight Bandit IFs had crew. After the first match, another Bandit joined the group.

Today we had three short routes and with the higher wind force, the fleet was pulled apart quite quickly. However, we would also have many dropouts due to the stormy weather. Some sailors were unlucky and others gave up.

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

Saturday afternoon was beautiful afternoon in the fall. This time we had a fleet of nine Bandit IFs at the start. Two of the nine Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea regions and Fruit regions were well behaved and there was not a cloud in the sky. After the first race, another Bandit joined the company.

We had a good start and we had a group of five boats right from the start. One of the chased boats split immediately after take-off. This boat joined the company at the first mark. After this mark, the leader took the lead on the chasing group. In the Sapodilla region another boat joined the chasing group. Which gave us a leader with a group of five pursuers. This group fell apart after the match slowly progressed and the order of entry was decided at the Eden Albatros region.

In the second race, we had a group of five boats heading for the first mark. After the second mark we had a front runner with two groups of two boaters that were well matched. These were chased by three other boats. After the second mark everyone went their own way. At the third mark, we had a vast group of six boats. One of the skippers broke down here and had to give up

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

It was a beautiful day for sailing, Saturday afternoon. This time we again had nine boats of the same class, namely Bandit IFs, two of the Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea regions behaved well and even in the Fruit waters there was not a cloud in the sky. However, during the first race, we had a storm in the Morinda region.

We had a good start and immediately after the start four skippers split off by tackling immediately. The rounding of the first mark went smoothly. After the third mark, two skippers had taken the lead, but they would end up in a thunderstorm. They were chased by a group of five boats. After the thunderstorm we had a front runner with a chasing group of four, which slowly fell apart.

The start of the second race was also excellent and a fleet of seven boats sailed to the first two marks, of which the first mark was an island. After the second mark, each skipper made their own way along the coastline to the third mark, dancing between tacking in time and not touching each other. At the third mark we had a leader who had split off, followed by a group of four and three boats. Between the fourth and sixth mark we had a hard fight for fourth and fifth place.

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

Saturday afternoon was beautiful, in the middle of a hot summer, with good sailing weather and not a single thunderstorm to be seen. This time we invited several classes to make this Saturday afternoon a special match. So we had seven Bandit IFs, two Bandit 22 LTEs and two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one with crew and one sailing single-handed respectively.
The boats would all start simultaneously, but there would be three races here at the same time. Because all boats sail under BOSS3, we could deviate from the standard wind direction that everyone can now dream. For me BOSS3 and BOSS4 is the future for sailing in Secondlife™.

We had a good start again. Immediately after the start, two groups of four boats were already formed
After the first buoy a Bandit 22 took the lead, this was followed by two Bandit IFs who competed for first place for the Bandit IF class. The two TMS Star Classes got stuck between the other Bandit IFs. Halfway through the race we lost a TMS Star Class.

In the second race, the Bandit IFs took the lead at the start. Rounding the first mark, an island, we had a group of nine boats. However, we lost two Bandit IFs at the second mark. The route took us along the pier of Eden Jakana to Eden Albatros. Here a Bandit 22 was in charge of a group of five boats, including a TMS Star Class.

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