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

Race Notes
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the second race tied at the finishing line with a time of 32:02. 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 Julie and Moon receive 1.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 1 and 2, added together and divided equally.

---

Jack (Jacquimo Resident) and Tamar (Tamara Czervik) finished tied with 11 points. As they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing 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
Jacquimo Resident	6	5
Tamara Czervik	5	6

In the last race, Jack breaks the tie with Tamar with his second place finish over Tamar’s sixth place finish.

---

Vicky (Vicky4698 Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) both finished tied with 16 points. As they both have the exact same finishes,  DNFs (Did Not Finish) during the race, neither Rule A8.1 or Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking their tie. Therefore, Vicky (Vicky4698 Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) both remain tied in fifth place overall.

From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Rugger, Moon, Red, Siri, and Jack. Dock: Daenerys, Cryptic, and Helios.

A beautiful Saturday afternoon was the backdrop for the first North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for November, 2022. We started with 5 Bandit IFs. The fleet set out together for the first mark. There, Moon took the lead, followed by Rugger, Siri, Red and Jack. At the second mark, Moon sailed away from the pursuers and Red ran out of luck. The chasing trio didn’t give each other an inch. The battle for second place would be fought until the turning point.

Before the start of the second race, a skipper joined the fleet.

Five of the six skippers had a good start. At the first mark Moon showed again and took a lead not to relinquish it. In the background there was another fight for second place. This one was battled by Siri, Max, Rugger and Red. The latter unfortunately had to give up again due to bad luck. Rugger held out for a very long time, but in the final leg he had to let Siri and Max go first.

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

Race Notes:
Max (Max Starostin) and Jack (Jacquimo Resident) both finished tied with 9 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
Max Starostin	3	6
Jacquimo Resident	4	5

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