Cat Fight – July 2nd 2021

From the left (in boats): ViV (WildWind AC-45), Diana (WildWind AC-45), Juicy (TMS Nacra 17), Daenerys and Tamarushka (TMS Flying Shadow), Emileigh and Rayz (TMS Flying Shadow), and Sea (WildWind AC-45). On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic: On the dock: Rayz, and Caethes. On the pier: Kai, Ada, and San.

Calm to choppy seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were generally smooth for everyone as the three DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day, one during the first race and two during the second race respectively, were due to skippers crashing while crossing across region corners. The crowds that gathered on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, and along the shores of the islands in the Citrus, Ziziphus, and Genip regions, reveled in the frenetic fleet-foiled feline frenzy on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea SS-01 (Second Sailstice) and North Sea Hay courses, was made up of a majority of three WildWind AC-45s. Two crewed The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, and one TMS Nacra 17 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet.
