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.

With a gentle breeze of 8 knots out of the southwest, building to a moderate breeze of 11 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were generally well behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, recorded during the second race, was due to a skipper pulling his boat after realizing he had an incorrect course loaded in his navigation HUD. The second DNF, also recorded during the second race, was from a skipper crashing as she crossed over region corners. The final DNF, occurring during the second race, was from a skipper pulling her boat after her boat’s HUD ceased to function. The crowds that gathered on the beaches 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, were thrilled by an enlivened 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 North Sea Short Loop Mirror course, was made up of a majority of ten Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, one crewed and two single-handed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.

Therefore, both Sirius and Red receive 2.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 2 and 3, added together and divided equally.


Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) finished tied with 13 points. As they both have duplicate finishes, Rule A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

Calm seas, with a lighter than usual US holiday fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. Today was the Presidents’ Day holiday in the US, which saw real life occupy some of our weekly sailors. With a gentle breeze of 8 knots out of the southwest, building to a moderate breeze of 11 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were well behaved as no DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. 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, cheered on a competitive 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 North Sea Short Loop Mirror course, was made up of a majority of four Bandit 22 LTEs. Two Bandit IFs, split evenly with one crewed and one single-handed respectively, rounded out the first race fleet. A 22 skipper opted to switch to her IF for the second race.

Choppy seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a gentle breeze of 8 knots out of the southwest, growing to a moderate breeze of 11 knots in the second race, the sailing weather on The North Sea was deceptively rough as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. All three DNFs, two during the first race and one during the second race, were due to crashes on region crossings. 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 a festive 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 North Sea Short Loop Mirror course, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Three Bandit IFs, two sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively, rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.
