Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a moderate breeze of 15 knots out of the southwest, rising to a fresh breeze of 18 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were mostly well behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, occurring during the first race, was from a skipper pulling his boat after realizing he was sailing an incorrect course. The second DNF, also occurring during the first race, was from a skipper crashing to her dekstop in the middle of a region, just one region from the finish line. The remaining DNF, occurring during the second race, was from a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, took in a peppy display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Copacabana and North Sea Copacabana Reverse courses, was made up of a majority of eleven Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, and one Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) and Markis (Marcus Schechter) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 22:19. 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 Markis receive 10.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 10 and 11, added together and divided equally.

Sea (filax Carter) and Sirius (Sirius Rosca) both finished tied with 10 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

Skipper	Best Finish	Next Best Finish
filax Carter	3	7

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on another beautiful Saturday afternoon in April. This time we had a fleet of nine Bandit IF’s at the start. One of the nine Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea behaved well.

Today, the wind came from the southwest. We had a great start. A group of six boats immediately took the lead. At the same time as the start, a tenth skipper jumped into his boat to maintain a pursuit course. At the first mark we had a group of seven skippers. Approaching Ziziphus, we had a front runner. He was followed by a loner and a group of five skippers. At Ziziphus, the fleet split in two. One half sailed east of the island, while the other half took the western route. A skipper had technical problems and had to drop out. This left three skippers who would compete for second place.

At the start of the second race, we had two skippers doing something for the fleet. This was negated, as she returned to the first mark a little later than others. The Race would be a battle between two skippers. these would soon distance themselves from the fleet. The chase of seven pursuers together for a while. However, the group was quickly divided between loners and a group of three. These would compete for fourth place

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