Calm seas, with nice fleet turnouts, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions behaved well 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 pulling her boat after her connection started to fail. The remaining DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was due to a skipper crashing as he crossed over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, as well as along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on a spirited display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, split evenly with one single-handed and one crewed resptively, one Bandit IF, one TMS Laser One, and one ReneMarine Clever rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing a two lap affair on the North Sea Long Loop course, was made up of a small majority of three TMS I-Mocca 60s. Two Trudeau 12 Metres, two Bandit 60s, one Bandit 50, one TMS Cafe Del Mar 75, one WildWind Open 60, one WildWin SC-40, and one ACA33 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Note: As of the posting of these results, the ReneMarine Clever’s handicap has been adjusted from 0.67, to 0.68. To see the rest of our handicaps and the Google Sheet used to calculate them, please see North Sea Handicap Table.

Today’s winner was Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) second, and Aymalie (Aymalie 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 racing duties.

Race Notes:
Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) was awarded a DNS (Did Not Start) for the small boat portion, as he crossed the startline early and did not circle back around to start properly as alerted both by the startline itself, and race staff. This has been a prescription to North Sea races since their inception in 2014. A sailor crossing the startline early must circle back around, away from the fleet, to start again properly.

Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook), and Aymalie (Aymalie Resident) both finished tied with 5 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
JulieRoyale Resident 1 4
Emileigh Starbrook 2 3
Aymalie Resident 2 3

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Julie’s favor with having a first place finish over Emileigh’s and Aymalie’s second place finishes as their best.

As Emileigh and Aymalie both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this remaining 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
Emileigh Starbrook 3 2
Aymalie Resident 2 3

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

Max (maxgreyman Resident) and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) both finished tied with 14 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.“

MelannieVeena Resident 8 10

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Alex’s and Diana’s favor with having seventh place finishes over Mel’s eighth place finish as her best.

As Alex and Diana both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to further 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.“

Calm seas, with nice fleet turnouts, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. As summer time in Europe came to an end this past weekend, while the United States has daylight savings time end this up coming weekend, a disparity of time existed that caused some havoc with skippers ability to attend races1. This disparity showed itself with lighter than usual fleets for both race portions. The North Sea regions responded in kind with smooth seas for most with only two DNFs (Did Not Finish) on the day. Both DNFs were attributed to skippers crashing while crossing across region corners. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, and 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 small boat fleet, sailing a three lap affair on the North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of four Bandit 22 LTEs. One The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadow, one TMS Nacra 17, and one Bandit IF rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing a two lap affair on the North Sea Long Loop course, was made up of a slim majority of two WildWind Open 60s. One TMS I-Mocca 60, one TMS Pacha 110, one WildWind RC-44r, and one Trudeau 12 Metre rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

1Next week will return to normal for everyone as time will be once again linked properly.

Calm to slightly choppy seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were calm for most as all four of the DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day were due to skippers pulling their boats. Two DNFs were due to skippers pulling their boats after discovering they had an incorrect course loaded in their navigation HUD. One more DNF was from a skipper pulling his boat after frustration from getting lost, with the final DNF due to a skipper pulling his boat after experiencing boat script issues. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on a spirited display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs.

Choppy to smooth seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were slightly choppy throughout the small boat portion, as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) occurred. Two of those DNFs were due to skippers crossing on region corners and crashing, with the remainder from a skipper pulling her boat after her connection started to have upwards of 40% packet loss. Conditions calmed a bit for the big boat portion, as two more DNFs were recorded. One of those two DNFs was due to a skipper’s WildWind losing it’s WWC race wind, with the remainder from a skipper crashing while crossing on a region corner.

Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), Amy Pond (Montserrat Naidoo), and Red (RedHeadJO Resident) all finished tied with 25 points. As they all finished with the exact same finishes in both portions, a DNF (Did Not Finish) during the small boat portion and a DNS (Did Not Start) during the big boat portion, 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.

Smooth seas, that turned choppy late, and a great fleet turnout highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The regions of The North Sea estate started the race day calm and smooth, as only one DNF (Did Not Finish) occurred during the first race. That DNF was due to a skipper causing a foul that forced another skipper to sail across region corners and crash. The calm seas would not last as a storm blew in during the second race, causing three additional DNFs to occur, all from region crossing crashes. The crowd that gathered on Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock, both in the Eden Jakana region, and along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, witnessed some great fleet-foiled feline frenzy from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea WC Reach 1 course and a 2 lap affair on the North Sea Long Loop course, was comprised of a majority of seven The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, three sailing with crew and four sailing single-handed respectively. Three TMS Nacra 17s, and one Wildwind AC-62, which was switched out for a Wilwdind AC-45 in the second race, rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet.

Diana (Dianafra Allen) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for failing to complete a 360° penalty turn as instructed by a race director due to a Rule 11 On The Same Tack, Overlapped foul.

“11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED
When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat
shall keep clear of a leeward boat“

Sirius (Sirius Rosca) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished the first race tied at the finishing line with a time of 18:16. As their final time also remains tied, as they both 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 Sirius and Sea receive 5.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 5 and 6, added together and divided equally.

Jenna (jnx1e Resident) and Isa (isab DeCuir) both finished tied with 5 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.“

isab DeCuir 2 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 first place finish over Isa’s second place finish as her best.

Sirius (Sirius Rosca) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished tied with 13.5 points. As they both have the exact same finishes in each race, a 5.5 point finish in the first race and a DNF in the second race respectively, neither rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking this tie. Therefore, Sirius and Sea both remain tied in sixth place overall.

As the both have the exact same finishes, a seventh place finish in the first race and a tenth place finish in the second race,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, Julie and Sea remain tied in tenth place overall.
