Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a moderate breeze of 11 knots out of the southwest, rising to 15 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were well behaved for most as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF came from a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners during the first race. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck on the island in the Ziziphus region, as well as on the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in an electric display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Olympic Short Mirror course and a two lap affair on the the North Sea Short Loop Mirror course, was made up of a split majority of five Bandit 22 LTEs, and five Bandit IFs, three sailing single-handed and two crewed respectively. One Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet in the first race. For the second race, two Bandit IF skippers switched to their Bandit 22 LTEs.
