Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were again generally well behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, occurring during the small boat portion, was from a skipper pulling her boat after her navigation HUD ceased functioning. The second DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was from another skipper pulling her boat after frustration from a misclick of her own mouse causing her boat to stop dead in its tracks. The final DNF, also occurring during the big boat portion, was from a skipper pulling her boat after a collision caused her boat to cross over region corners. The crowds that gathered at the lighthouses on 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 Trapezoid course, was made up of a majority of five Bandit 22 LTEs. Two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Nacra 17s, Two Bandit IFs, one TMS Star Class, and one Quest M-24 rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Roundabout course, was made up of a small majority of three TMS I-Mocca 60s.

On the Race Committee Boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, Henry, and Asher.

Calm to slightly choppy seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. All three DNFs, one occurring during the small boat portion and two during the big boat portion, were the results of skippers crossing over region corners. The two DNFs during the big boat portion were the direct results of a particularly nasty corner rounding, around the northern tip of the island in the Ziziphus region, amongst a pack of six of the fleet at that point. The crowds that gathered along 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, delighted in a rousing display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea CCW (counter-clockwise) course, was made up of a majority of ten Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, and two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, one sailing crewed and one single-handed respectively, rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Roundabout course, was made up of a majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s.

The three remaining DNFs, all occurring during the big boat portion, were from skippers crashing while crossing across region corners. 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, were delighted by an electric display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

Calm to choppy seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Open Regatta of July, 2022. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots coming out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were a bit choppy as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Secondlife™ was having ongoing issues with crashes, so much so that Linden Research™ stated as such in an incident report previous to the start of the regatta.

Linden Lab Incident Report on elevated crash rates, as seen on https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/d5pcfqpqpl4x , on July 6th, 2022.

Two of the three DNFs recorded on the day most likely were the result of the ongoing issues. The third DNF was due to a skipper crashing while crossing across region corners. 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, reveled in a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Olympic Course (Long) course, was made up of a triple split majority of two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, two TMS Nacra 17s, and two Bandit 22 LTEs. One Bandit 25R, and one Bandit F rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Roundabout course, was made up of a majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s. One TMS One Design 65, WildWind Open 60, and one WildWind RC-44r rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

Bandit IF Regatta – June 11th 2022

From the left to the right: (in Bandit IFs) Fanny, Emi, Red, Julie, Darb & Kit, Moon, Zero, and Rugger. Committee boat: Daenerys. Dock: Cryptic, and Caethes.

This weeks North Sea Bandit IF Regatta took place on another beautiful Saturday afternoon in June. We started with eight Bandit IFs. One of the Bandit IFs had crew on board. The start of the first race went smoothly. Julie and Emi had started from port and took a different route to the first mark. The other five boats would head from the east to the first mark. At the first mark, Fanny took charge of the fleet. Julie and Moon would battle for second place. Zero, Emi, Red and Rugger followed at a distance from the three leaders. Julie was close behind Fanny when they approached the island in the Genip region. Just before they rounded the island, fate befell Fanny. This gave Julie and Moon free rein in the last leg.

The second race started with nine boats. Jack had reported to the start line late during the first race, but was able to participate in the second race. During the start, the RC was pressing. Eight of the nine skippers started in quick succession, causing a compact fleet to head for the first mark. Fanny managed to build up a small lead over the other seven skippers. After leaving the mark in the Sloe region, we had four pursuers, Jack, Rugger, Julie and Moon. Approaching the mark in the Sapote region, Julie and Jack had given chase to Fanny, leaving Rugger and Moon behind. Fanny, Julie and Jack were going to decide who would come first, second and third. This was a fight to the finish line.

There were three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and one DSQ (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Wind: 220° (SW) 18kts

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

Cat Fight – June 10th 2022

From the left (in boats): Daenerys (TMS Flying Shadow), Sirius (TMS Flying Shadow), Max (TMS Flying Shadow), and Moon (TMS Flying Shadow).
On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Asher, Caethes, and Emileigh. On the pier: Anoso, and Diana.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were well behaved as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF was due to a skipper crashing while crossing across region corners during the second race. The crowds that gathered on the beaches on the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, delighted in the frantic fleet-foiled feline fury on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Manta and the North Sea Roundabout courses, was made up of four The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows for the first race. Two skippers opted for different boats for the second race, switching to a TMS Nacra 17 and WildWind AC-62 respectively.
