Bandit IF Regatta – Dec 10th 2022

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

A beautiful Saturday afternoon in December was the backdrop for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We started with six Bandit IFs. We had a great start and Rugger took the lead right away. He was followed by Siri, Red, Julie, and Moon. This group of five stayed together nicely, until Red had to retire. Siri launched an attack on Rugger, with Moon and Julie in hot pursuit. Rugger also fell out and then we had a battle between three sailors who didn’t give each other straw. Julie saw her chance and took the lead over, Moon who would still pass Siri. Apart from the many dropouts, it was a great race.

The second race started with the three remaining skippers. Siri and Moon got off to a good start and Julie had to see that she missed the connection. Moon and Siri engaged in a nice fight for a long time, but Moon managed to secure the lead. Because the two ruffs were fighting so much, Julie saw the opportunity to slowly connect with Siri. Siri and Julie were going to put up a fight, but Siri managed to hold on to second 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.

Today’s winners were Moon (Moonglownight Resident), with Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) second, and Siri (Sirius Rosca) in third place.

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

Race Notes:
Rugger (ruggeromare Resident), Red (RedHeadJo Resident) and Ulla (Ulla Rhode) all finished tied with 8 points. As they all have the exact same finishes,  DNFs (Did Not Finish) during the first race and DNSs (Did Not Start) during the second 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, Rugger (ruggeromare Resident), Red (RedHeadJo Resident) and Ulla (Ulla Rhode) all remain tied in fourth place overall.

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on another beautiful Saturday afternoon in September. We started with five Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs had crew on board.

In the first race, Julie already took a lead on the other skippers at the start. On the way to the first mark, a skipper, Zero, had to give up with technical problems. Arriving at the first mark we had two leaders, Julie and Siri, with Angela. Rugger and Darb had lagged behind. At the turning point, Darb also had to give up.

At the start of the second race, Rugger took the lead, followed immediately by Siri and Julie. Jack, who had joined the group, followed fourth. On the way to the second mark, Rugger hit the rocks and had to let Siri and Julie go. He found a connection with Jack. However, in the course of the race, problems also caused him to retire. This would leave Julie and Siri battling it out for first place and Rugger was in third place. Darb followed at a distance from Rugger.

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.
