The first North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for April, 2023, took place on a wonderful Saturday afternoon. We had six Bandit IFs at the start. One Bandit IF had crew on board. At the start of the first race, the fleet split into two groups of three boats. Moon took off first across the line followed by Julie. Moon and Julie decided to sail east of the island in the Zizphus region. Against that, the other four skippers opted for a western route. Moon and Julie turned out to have made the right choice. They arrived first at the first buoy. Rugger, Jack and Siri followed as a group a short distance from the front runners. They had taken a lead and were going to compete for first place. The group behind the front runners would fight for third place.

In the second race, Julie and Jack decided to take the western route past the Ziziphus region, while Siri and Moon took the eastern route. Moon and Siri got to the buoy first. Siri broke down along the way and had to let Julie and Moon go. They entered into a fierce battle for first place. Jack and Rugger tried to hook up, but had to see that Julie managed to get hold of the lead at Sloe

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

On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Red, Caethes, and Vicky. On the pier: Stripey, Phillip, and Como.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first Cat Fight in The North Sea of November, 2022. With a fresh breeze of 21 knots out of the southwest, calming to 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. One DNF, occurring during the first race, was due to a skipper pulling his boat from frustration. The remaining two DNFs, split between both races, were due to a skipper crashing while crossing across region corners. The crowds that gathered on the beaches on the islands in the Ziziphus, and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on the fit of fleet-foiled feline fervor on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Snipe and North Sea Copacabana courses, was made up of seven The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, six sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively, during the first race. One skipper opted for his TMS Nacra 17 to round out the weeks catamaran fleet during the second race.
