The fourth North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for April, 2023, saw a great April afternoon. We had seven Bandit IFs at the start. At the start of the first race, Julie took the lead, closely followed by Siri. At the first mark, Moon came alongside. This created a three-boat battle for first place. In the Sloe region, Julie had taken over the lead, followed by Moon and Siri. Jack followed in fourth. Jack fought his way back to third. Moon didn’t give up yet and in the end the race would be decided on the finish line.

During the first race a skipper had to give up due to RL obligations. Another skipper declined to participate in the second race.

In the second race Siri, Julie and Moon were evenly matched again. Siri first entered into a duel with Julie. Moon let the two battle and he immediately took the lead. But, Siri and Julie came back and Siri had taken the lead in rounding the isle of Ziziphus. Moon followed in second and Julie couldn’t help but follow. After lapping the isle of Genip, Moon took the lead again. but now closely followed by Julie. Siri was now third. Moon and Julie now engaged in a direct battle, And at the next mark it turned out that Siri was not lost yet. He turned around the buoy second. But Moon and Julie kept an eye on each other. After rounding up the isle of Satsuma, Moon and Julie had now distanced themselves from Siri. And in the region Cherry, Julie took over the lead from Moon.

Whoever says Bandit IF are boring boats has never seen a competition like this one today.

There were was one DNF (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

A beautiful Saturday afternoon in October was again the scene for this weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta. We started with seven Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs had crew on board.

The first race got off to a good start. Six of the seven boats started over starboard and one over port. The whole fleet, except Julie, followed the boat that started from port. Red took the lead, followed by Moon, Rugger and Siri. At the first mark, Julie moved in between Red and Moon. When rounding the next mark, Moon and Julie had switched places. Rugger and Siri followed at an appropriate distance. History repeated itself at the last mark.

Between the races, a skipper joined the fleet. She had missed the first race due to computer issues. At the start of the second race, the RC was pressed for time. The entire fleet rushed to the start. This ended well, so that again a nice start took place. On the way to the first mark, Red took the lead, followed by Julie, Moon and Siri. Unfortunately, Rugger crashed while crossing over region corners. Arriving in Genip, we had a fierce battle between Julie and Moon, fighting neck and neck until the next mark. Siri followed a short distance from the fight. Going into the final leg, Red, Julie and Moon lay side by side and it would be a fierce battle all the way to the finish line

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.

The North Sea and Fruit regions behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky. Until we got a thunderstorm on our roof in the second race, causing two skippers to stop

Today we would sail two races. In the first race there were duos and this resulted in several beautiful spectacles. At the second race a group of 4 and a group of 5 ships were formed. We kept this situation until we entered the Isles of Fruit. There we lost two skippers.

Race Notes:
Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) did hit the fire of “The Circle of the Dragon” in the Pre-Start of the first race

“During the start there will be a circle in the water that we call “The Circle of the Dragon”. Everyone stays out of this circle until 10 seconds before the start signal. When you are to early in the circle, then I will add 30 second penalty to you finish time.“

Therefore Julie (JulieRoyale Resident) finish time was added with 30 seconds.
