Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were well behaved as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF was attributed to a skippers connection dying on her during the small boat portion. The second DNF, also during the small boat portion, was due to a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Manta course, was made up of a majority of three Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing crewed and one single-handed respectively, one TMS Nacra 17, one TMS Sea Boss – Rider, and one Bandit IF rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was made up of a split majority of two TMS I-Mocca 60s, and two WildWind Open 60s. One TMS One Design 65, one WildWind RC-44r, and one Bandit 55 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Big boat fleet, from the left (in boats): Emileigh (Bandit 55), Max and Wyndi (WildWind Open 60), Aymalie (WildWind RC-44r), Sea (WildWind Open 60), Jenna (TMS One Design 65), Moon (TMS I-Mocca 60), and Zimtzicke (TMS I-Mocca 60).
