From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Rugger, Red, Julie, Jack, and Siri.
Committee boat: Daenerys.
Dock: Cryptic, Caethes, and Yanny.

Another wonderful Saturday afternoon in March. We had five Bandit IFs at the start.

Julie took the lead in the first race. She was followed by Siri, Rugger and Red. Jack took another line. After the bouy, Jack had joined the other four. At the turning point, Julie was in charge, followed by Siri. Rugger and Red battled for third place, which Rugger would eventually win.

During the second race, Red took the lead. She was closely followed by Julie, Siri, and Rugger. Jack had found yet another line. Rugger had to drop out quickly. On the way to the Canistel region, each skipper went his own way. Here it turned out that Red was still first, but that Julie had taken over second place from Siri. In the Tamarind region, Julie took over the lead position from Red. After this, Red, Siri and Jack made the decision to take a different line from Julie, hoping they could make a move. But this put Julie ahead of the fleet. In Morinda, however, Julie suffered a breakdown and had to watch as it left her behind.

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.

Bandit IF Regatta – September 24th 2022

From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Julie, Sirius, Red, Moon, Rugger, and Jack. Committee boat: Daenerys, and Tamarushka, Dock: Tehran.

A beautiful Saturday afternoon saw the last North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for September, 2022. We started with six Bandit IFs.

During the first race, the fleet remained together until the first buoy. Siri got into an argument with Mark, which left him behind. At the turning point, Moon seemed to be in the lead, but Julie cleverly sailed past them, but disaster struck soon after, forcing her to give up. Moon followed by Jack, Red, and Rugger sailed for the next landmark, the Island of Ziziphus. En route to the finish line there would be fights between Red and Jack, and between Siri, Jack and Rugger.

During the second race, the fleet remained together again. However, this time disaster struck for Red. Julie took the lead and Moon followed in her wake. Both were followed by Jack. Rugger and Siri would compete for last place. And this would be a fierce battle! At the head, nothing would change until the finish.

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.

Bandit IF Regatta – July 9th 2022

From the left to the right (in Bandit IFs): Emi, Fanny, Dunia, Rugger, Zero, Siri & Angelie, and Moon. Committee boat: Daenerys, and Tamarushka.

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on another beautiful Saturday afternoon in July. We started with seven Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs had crew on board. The start of the first race did not go smoothly. Zero had to drop out before the start. So we were left with six boats. Dunia crashed in the Satsuma region. The other five skippers would decide who would win the first race. On the way to the Annato region, the fleet was scattered. Each followed its own line between the islands. Who had made the right choice? Fanny was the first to round the mark, an island in the Annato region. Shortly followed by Rugger and Siri. Moon followed in fourth position, but he would have to pull out all the stops to overtake the leaders. Emi followed at a good distance from Moon. On the way to the Ziziphus region, Rugger and Siri battled for second place. Fanny slowly got ahead of the two fighters.

The second race again started with seven Bandit IFs, but Dunia had made way for Red. Immediately after the start, a group of five (Fanny, Moon, Rugger, Siri, Zero) and a group of two (Emi and Red) Bandit IFs emerged. Moon and Fanny immediately took the lead, taking the lead over Siri, Zero and Rugger at the first mark. Rugger dropped out with problems. The two front runners were slow to finish and Siri and Zero would have to settle for third. But the venom was in his tail again.

There were three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and one DSQ (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Bandit IF Regatta – March 19th 2022

From the left to the right: (in Bandit IFs): boats: Emileigh, Ruggeromare & Anne, JulieRoyale, Jackson, Sirius, Max & Wyndi, Alex Committee boat: Daenerys, Tamarushka

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in March. This time we had a fleet of seven Bandit IFs at the start. Two of the seven Bandit IFs had crew. The North Sea and Fruit Islands regions behaved well. But, at least several different skippers would end up in a thunderstorm

A great start in the first race. Half of the fleet started from port tack and the other half started from starboard tack. As a result, we had a number of exciting moments on the starting line. Four of the seven skippers stayed together for a long time until one of the skippers got bad luck and joined the chasing group of two skippers. As far as the competition progressed, the groups fell apart and two skippers stayed at the head which loved the end to the end.

The start of the second race ran much better and we already had a group of six boats from the start. After the first Mark, a skipper held it. As a result, we left with a group of five boats. A skipper took the lead but he fermented at the fourth mark, which lost the head of position. Another skipper saw the opportunity and immediately took the head position to give it out of your hands. The group of five fell apart and two boats continued to fight for second place.

There were two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and one DSQ (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.

Race Notes:

Jack (Jacquimo Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the second race for sailing an incorrect course, sailing the first course mark Clockwise instead of Counter Clockwise , the light blue buoy in the Raspberry region.

From the left to the right: (in Bandit IFs): boats: Aymalie, JulieRoyale, RedheadJo, Sirius & Angelie, Max & Wyndi, Jackson, Moonglownight, Juicy Committee boat: Daenerys, Tamarushka

The first bandit IF Regatta in 2022. I thought it would be easy because I only chose one route. but an incorrectly set orb already threw a spanner in the works and I had to change the route and add an extra mark to the race. Most skippers didn’t seem to mind the adjustment. Eight Bandit If boats took off. One boat had crew on board. The start went smoothly even though some skippers were a little behind the fleet, but the trip was long so anything could happen and the route went partly through the Fruit Islands. Here you could easily get lost if you slipped off your path. We had planned two laps and it was going to be an exciting race in the end.

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.

Assistant Race Directors: Tamarushka, and Cryptic

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

Race Notes:
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Red (RedHeadJo Resident) both finished tied with 7 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, Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) and Red (RedHeadJo Resident) both remain tied in seventh place overall.

A beautiful May Saturday afternoon in the North Sea and Fruit, with wind coming from the south, was the backdrop for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. The North Sea and Fruit regions were well behaved and there was not a cloud in the sky. Today we had a fleet of ten Bandit IFs at the start. One of the ten Bandit IFs had crew.

Before the start of the first race, each skipper was given a list of landmarks and a map and they had to draw their own route on the map themselves. The start went smoothly and four skippers distanced themselves from the rest of the fleet, but it would not stay that way. In the Elderberry region, a skipper had taken on the fleet. From here skippers would each sail a different route around the island in the Ziziphus region. In the Eden Fulmar region, the order of the first five boats turned out to have been completely changed. The skipper who was now first did not relinquish this position. However, there was fight for second place right up to the finish line.

At the start of the second race we had two surprising port starts, which went just fine. As a result, we had a compact fleet and two skippers with a completely different line to the first mark. Here the paths of all skippers crossed again. The skippers probably thought “all roads lead to Rome”, because between mark two and mark three the fleet was completely spread over several regions. Arriving at the third mark, it became clear how the race would continue. We had a leader that could no longer be overtaken, with several groups behind her.

We had three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through all races and it was another successful and sporting day in The North Sea and Fruit.

More pictures after the results.
