Another beautiful Saturday in April was the scene for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We had seven Bandit IFs at the start. At the start of the first race, Vicky took the lead, closely followed by Julie and Moon. By the first mark, Moon had taken over the lead and Julie, Vicky and Siri followed close behind, battling for second place. The battle for second put Jack back and took fourth from Vicky. Red had technical problems and had to give up.

In the second race, Vicky was at the starting line way too early. This created chaos. Two other skippers fell victim to this. Moon missed this dance and immediately took the lead. Jack, Siri and Julie followed at a distance. These were in fierce competition for second place. On the way to the Soncoya region, Julie had distanced herself from Siri and Jack. These would battle for third place and this battle would be decided at the finish.

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