Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished the big boat portion tied at the finishing line with a time of 13:26. As their final time also remains tied, as they both sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing 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 Zimtzicke and Sea 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.

---

Alejandro (Boogie Aeghin) and Chalky (boatcrew Resident) both finished tied with 15 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing 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
Boogie Aeghin	6	9
boatcrew Resident	7	8

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

Red (RedHeadJO Resident), and Lilita (lilita Cifuentes) both finished tied with 10 points. As they both have the exact same finishes in each race, a DNF (Did Not Finish) during the small boat portion and a DNS (Did Not Start) during the big boat portion, neither Rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking their tie. Therefore, Red and Lilita remain tied in sixth place overall.

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on another beautiful Saturday afternoon in June. We started with ten Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs had crew on board. The start of the first race was almost flawless. Dunia started from port and collided with Fanny. During the first leg, the fleet split up. Five skippers headed south, while the other five skippers headed west. At the first mark, Julie had already taken a small lead over Fanny, Moon, and Rugger. The other sailors had already fallen far behind. During the race, Julie slowly walked out on Fanny, and Moon. Rugger had to let the three leaders go.

During the start of the second race, the fleet was pressed near the Race Committee boat. A compact fleet of 8 boats set out for the first mark. Julie, Zero, and Moon took a slight lead. En route to the first mark, Moon and Julie would compete in a heated battle to see who would complete the mark first. This was supposed to be Moon, but Julie did not give up yet and rounded the second mark first. Fanny was now hot on their heels and was followed again by Zero.

The last North Sea Triple Threat of April saw a beautiful Thursday afternoon, with good sailing weather coming from the southwest. Today we had six Bandit 22 LTEs, two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, and two Bandit IFs at the starting line. A Star Class had crew on board.

For a change, everyone would start at the same time and since we only had more than two boats of the Bandit 22, these skippers would compete for the win. And they would do their best to stay together until the end of the races.

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

North Sea Open Regatta – Apr 27th 2022

Small boat fleet, from the left (in boats): Emileigh (TMS Star Class), Diana (Bandit 22 LTE), Cate and Anthony (Bandit 22 LTE), Ella (Bandit 22 LTE), Julie (Bandit IF), Moon (Bandit IF), Max and Wyndi (TMS Star Class), Ruggger (Bandit 22 LTE), Jenna (Bandit 22 LTE), Sea (Bandit 22 LTE), and Zimtzicke (Bandit 22 LTE).
On the Race Committee Boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Randy, and Henry. On the pier: Summer, and Malius.

Calm to stormy seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were generally behaved but turned stormy during the big boat portion as four DNFs (Did Not Finish) occurred. Two of those DNFs were due to skippers crashing as they crossed over region corners. Another DNF was due to a skipper pulling his boat after frustration from being caught in irons. The final DNF was due to a skippers connection dyeing on her. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in an exhilarating display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing crewed and one sailing single-handed respectively, and two Bandit IFs rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Circle course, was made up of a small majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s. Three WildWind Open 60s, one TMS One Design 65, one TMS Volvo Open 70, one ACA33, one WildWind RC-44r, one Bandit 55, and one Bandit 50/3 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Today’s winner was Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Moon (moonglownight Resident) second, and Jenna (jnx1e Resident) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate and to the SLCG for helping with racing duties.

Race Notes:
Cate (Cate Sewell) and Anthony (AnthonyKingston Resident) registered as a team prior to the start of the race, therefore their points are accredited together.

---

Sandra (WWWAAAA Resident) was charged with a Did Not Start (DNS) during the big boat portion due to being over the startline early, before the countdown clock reached 00:00, while never going back around to record a start. This was after notification from the start line, in local chat, and notification from a race director. A prescription to all North Sea races, a skipper must go around and re-cross the line to record a proper start if they are over the line early. Failing to record a proper start results in being charged with a DNS for that race.

From the left to the right: Bandit B22: Gryfin & Jenna, Ester & Yolamat, Sea, Alex Bandit IF: Siri, Jack, Julie, Moon Star Class: Emi, Max & Wyndi, Nicole Pier: Asher Committee boat: Daenerys

The first Triple Threat for March 2022 saw a beautiful Thursday afternoon with good sailing weather coming from the west. Today we had four Bandit 22 LTEs, three The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, and four Bandit Ifs at the starting line. A 22 and a Star Class had crew on board.

We had two great races. It soon became clear that in the Star Class a skipper showed the other skippers how to win a competition. With the 22s and the IFs the races were exciting until the end.

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.

Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.
