Smooth seas, with a wonderful fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The North Sea regions were well behaved for all our skippers as the only DNF (Did Not Finish) on the day was due to a skipper hitting region corners right before the finish of the second race. This week was our monthly There and Back Again series, were the skippers sailed from one end of The North Sea Estate to the other, and then back again. The crowd that assembled on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier, in the Eden Jakana region, and subsequently hopped from the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, the shores of the island in the Genip region, and then finally to the small race dock in the Eden Jaeger region, cheered and reveled in the tight-knit fleet racing on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Jaeger to Curlew 01 courses, was composed of a majority of twelve Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit 25Rs, and one crewed Bandit IF rounded out this weeks Bandit 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 race duties.

Race Notes:
Fanny (fannydeep Resident) and Rayz (Rayzza Rubble) both finished the first race tied with a final time of 0:10:55. As the final time result is rounded to the nearest whole second in the Google Sheet, the exact final times for each skipper are: (race time multiplied by handicap equaling final time, all time in seconds)

Skipper Race Time Handicap Final Time
fannydeep 873 0.75 654.75
Rayzza 799 0.82 655.18

With the final times shown in seconds, the tie breaks in Fanny’s favor with having a 654.75 seconds finish over Rayz’s 655.18 seconds finish. Just to note, if both skippers final times had been an exact tie, Rule A7 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing would be used to break that tie instead:

“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.“

Moon (moonglownight Resident) and Jenna (jnx1e Resident) both finished tied with 8 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
moonglownight Resident 2 6
jnx1e Resident 3 5

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Moon’s favor with having a first place finish over Jenna’s second place finish as her best.

Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) both finished tied with 9 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
Emileigh Starbrook 3 6
Nicole Myhre 4 5

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Emileigh’s favor with having a third place finish over Zimtzicke’s fourth place finish as her best.

Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) and Amy Pond (Montserrat Naidoo) both finished tied with 25 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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.“

Saturday afternoon, we had a fleet of ten Bandit IFs at the start. Two Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea regions behaved well and even in the Eden waters there was not a cloud in the sky.

We had a great start with eight boats together. It can be seen that the skippers are getting better at pre-starts, however the threat from barging is still present.
After the start, a boat split from the fleet to then rejoin the fleet at the first mark. The tack to the first mark went smoothly for the remaining nine boats. At the mark buoy, we had a leading group of four boats, with the boat that had separated itself at the start as the leader. On the way to the second mark, there was a fight for second place. Later in the race there was still fighting for first place.

The start of the second race also went well. After the start, we already had a stretched fleet. This would not mean anything because the “venom was in the tail”. When entering Eden, we had a front runner and a chasing group of four above, taking the wind away from each other. After rounding the first mark, an island in the Eden Owl region, the skippers made their way between the islands. After they passed the gate, the route followed through a river in the Eden Kittiwake region. With the wind blowing on the bow, the steering skills of the various skippers surfaced. A skipper ran into problems and had to lower his sails, making it more of a challenge for the skippers behind to sail through the river.

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

A great fleet turnout, in light of some pesky region behavior, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were generally behaved for most, with the exception of the Sapote region which was offline until 5 minutes after the start of the small boat portion. Due to the Sapote regions late lunch, our originally planned courses of North Sea Olympic Course (Long) and North Sea Circle were changed to facilitate avoiding the gap left by the off line region. In light of the chaotic conditions, there was still only one DNF (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day, due to a skipper crossing on a region corner. The crowd that first gathered on the Poseidon Center Spectator Pier, in the Eden Jakana region, and then moved to follow and watch this weeks fleet, to the shores of the island in the Genip region, cheered on the close-knit fleet racing on display.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Cutlew to Jeager 01 course, was comprised of a majority of six Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, two sailing single-handed and one sailing with crew respectively, two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, one single-handed and one with crew, two TMS Nacra 17s, one TMS Star Class, one Bandit 25r, one Quest M-24, and one ReneMarine Clever1 rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Thornback course, was comprised of a majority of four Wildwind Open 60s. Three TMS One Design 65s, two TMS Volvo Open 70s, one TMS Ushuaia, one Wildwind RC-44r, one Wildwind AC-62, and one Trudeau 12 Metre rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

1Note: The handicap for the ReneMarine Clever has been updated to a value of 0.69. You can see more info at our North Sea Handicap Table along with a link to the Google Sheet used for calculating the handicap values.

Choppy to smooth seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The North Sea regions were slightly choppy for the start of our monthly There and Back Again version of the regatta, with five DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. All five of those DNFs occurred during the first portion of the regatta. Two DNFs were due to skippers crashing on region crossings. A third DNF was due to a skipper pulling her boat after being frustrated from getting caught in irons1, with the remaining two DNFs the result of skippers crashing while crossing on region corners. The seas calmed for the second race of the regatta, with every skipper staring and finishing out of a fleet of 16 boats. The crowd that initially gathered on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier, in the Eden Jakana region, and then followed the fleet, viewing from the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, cheered on the great racing on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Jaeger to Curlew 01 courses, was comprised of a majority of ten Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, two sailing with crew and two sailing single-handed respectively, and two Bandit 25Rs rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Calm seas, that turned stormy late, and a great fleet turnout highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The North Sea regions were calm and smooth for the first portion of our monthly There and Back Again series across the width of the entire estate, as every skipper finished without a hiccup. The seas turned choppy late into the second portion, as the Mammea region decided to take a late lunch and go offline, taking two skippers with it resulting in the only two DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. The crowd that gathered on the small race dock, in the Eden Jakana region, and then following the fleet, hopping to the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, reveled and cheered on this weeks Bandit skippers as they put on a lively display of fleet racing.

Great sim sailing weather and a large fleet turnout featured during this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The regions of The North Sea were calm and well behaved as only two DNFs (Did Not Finish), were recorded on the day. Of those two DNFs, one was due to a skipper pulling her boat after her computer had issues, and the other DNF was due to a skipper crashing. The crowds that gathered along the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, as well as on the small race docks in the Eden Jakana and Eden Jeager regions, were treated to some great fleet racing from this weeks Bandit skippers as they sailed along both courses for our monthly There and Back Again series ranging the full width of the estate. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Scampi courses, was made up of a majority of nine Bandit 22 LTEs. Five Bandit IFs, three sailing single-handed and two sailing with crew respectively, and two Bandit 25Rs rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Today’s winner was Yvonne (YvonneDearly Resident), with Jenna (jnx1e Resident) second, and Daenerys (blondij 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 race duties.

Race Notes:
Lokia (Lokia Float) and Meireles (Meireles Diabolito) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 15:31. As their final time also remains tied, both having sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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 Lokia and Meireles 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.

Jenna (jnx1e Resident) and Daenerys (blondij Resident) both finished tied with 6 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
jnx1e Resident 2 4
blondij Resident 3 3

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Jenna’s favor with having a second place finish over Daenerys’s third place finish as her best.

Saturday afternoon started as a beautiful day. During the races, however, a few thunderstorms arose above the west of The North Sea. This time we had eleven Bandit IF’s, including two with crew.

We had a great start. We had several nice battles for different places, but a skipper lost track and almost missed the buoy in Eden Auk.

The second race went better and again was a nice game. The fleet spread slowly and the skippers dug their oars between the islands of Eden.

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

More pictures after the results.

Today’s winner was Rugger (ruggeromare Resident ), with Jackson (Jacquimo Resident) second, and Moon (moonglownight Resident) in third place. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Dunia (Dunia Moulliez) whas disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for sailing an incorrect course. She sailed west of the Green buoy in the Eden Shag region, the last mark on the course, instead of east of the buoy, as indicated for the course.

Dunia (Dunia Moulliez) and Kim (Kim Farleigh) both finished tied with 14 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
Dunia Moulliez 5 9
Kim Farleigh 6 8

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Dunia’s favor with having a fifth place finish over Kim’s sixth place as her best.

Rique (MDot357 Resident) and Remotay (Remotay Adagio) both finished tied with 18 points. As they both have the exact same finishes, finishing with a 9 points finish during the first race and a 9 points finish during the second race respectively, neither Rule A8.1 or Rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking their tie. Therefore, Rique and Remotay remain tied in tenth place overall.

Calm sim sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were well behaved for almost everyone, with only one DNF (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day, due to a skipper crashing to her desktop in the middle of the last region before the finish of the second race. The spectators on hand, on the Bandit1 party dock and small race dock, both in the Eden Jakana region, and on the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, reveled in the great fleet-foiled feline frenzy on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Jaeger to Curlew 01 courses, was comprised entirely of six The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, five sailing with crew and one sailing single-handed respectively.

Stormy seas and a great fleet turnout highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The regions of The North Sea started out behaving for most, as sailors set off on our monthly There and Back Again series from one end of estate to the other. Three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded during the first race, two due to skippers hitting region corners and a third from a skipper crashing. The seas turned choppy during the second race as a storm blew in, with seven DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded from skippers crashing on the borders of the Eden Booby region. In light of the stormy seas, the spectators on hand, on the small dock in the Eden Jaeger region, and on the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, were still reveling in the exciting sailing on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Scampi courses, was comprised of a majority of nine Bandit IFs, seven sailing single-handed and two sailing with crew respectively. Six Bandit 25Rs rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Sandra (NigelNils Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for racing with autopilot enabled on his Bandit 25r.

Alexandre (WWWAAAA Resident) and Yvonne (YvonneDearly Resident) finished tied with 5 points. As they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

“If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.“

Skipper Race 1 Race 2
WWWAAAA Resident 3 2
YvonneDearly Resident 2 3

In the last race, Sandra breaks the tie with Yvonne with her second place finish over Yvonne’s third place finish.

Jackson (Jacquimo Resident) and Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) both finished tied with 14 points. Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the 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
Jacquimo Resident 4 10
Emileigh Starbrook 7 7

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Jackson’s favor with having a fourth place finish over Emileigh’s seventh place finish as her best.

Sirius (Sirius Rosca) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished tied with 19 points. As they both have the exact same finishes in each race, DNFs in both races respectively, neither Rule A8.1 or Rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking their tie. Therefore, Sirius and Sea remain tied in twelfth place overall.

Smooth seas, that turned choppy late, with a nice fleet turnout highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The regions of the North Sea behaved beautifully for the skippers during the first race, a jaunt across the entire North Sea estate, from the Eden Curlew region race line to the Eden Jaeger region race line. The seas turned a bit choppy for the second race, as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded, two DNFs from skippers crashing and the third from a skipper pulling his boat after putting up an admirable fight against the 21 knot prevailing winds that gusted late. The spectators on hand, scattered along the race course on the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus, Genip, and Eden Auk regions, as well as on the small race dock in the Eden Jaeger region, were reveling in the fleet-foiled flying feline frenzy put on by this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Curlew to Jaeger 01 and North Sea Barracuda courses, was comprised of a majority of six The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, five sailing single-handed and one sailing with crew respectively. One lone Wildwind AC-45 made up the remainder of the fleet during the first race. The second race saw a shift in composition as the Wildind AC-45 skipper switched to her TMS Nacra 17, a single-handed Flying Shadow skipper jumped on as crew with another TMS Flying Shadow skipper, and another TMS Flying Shadow skipper picked up crew of her own.
