Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Open Regatta for March, 2023. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were mostly behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, occurring during the small boat portion, was due to a skipper experiencing a rough crossing. The second DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was from a skipper pulling her boat after she realized her control gestures were mixed up. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, savored a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Half Mane course, was made up of a split majority of four Bandit 22 LTEs and four The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, three sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively. Two TMS Sea Boss – Riders, one TMS Nacra 17, and one Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Outer Inner Loop (OIL) course, was made up of a small split majority of two Trudeau 12 Metres and two TMS I-Mocca 60s. One TMS Volvo Open 70, one TMS One Design 65, one WildWind RC44R, one Isard Machichaco, and one TMS Ocean Beach rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were well behaved again, as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF, occurring during the second race, was attributed to a skipper crashing as he crossed over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in an energetic display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Half Mane and North Sea Copacabana courses, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, one sailing crewed and one single-handed respectively, one Bandit 25r, and one Bandit 50/3 rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Moon (moonglownight Resident) and Ester (citacg Resident) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 15:30. 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:

Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.“

Therefore, both Moon and Ester receive 6.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 6 and 7, added together and divided equally.

Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) and Sea (filax Carter) finished tied with 9 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:

With a moderate breeze of 15 knots out of the southwest, building to a fresh breeze of 18 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Script issues were behind both DNFs, one in each race, as skippers pulled their boats in both instances, when their boat scripts stopped responding. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of 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 frantic fleet-foiled feline flurry on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Half Mane and North Sea Extreme Reverse courses, was made up of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, four sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively. One WildWind AC-62, and one WildWind AC-45 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet in the first race.

Calm to choppy seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were generally smooth for most, with two DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. Both DNFs occurred during the second race, as one skipper crashed to desktop in the middle of a region, and another crashed on a region crossing. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long) and the North Sea Half Mane course, was made up of a majority of six Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, two sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.
