On the race committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Tamarushka, Red, Tyson, and Julia. On the pier: Arwen, Kama, and Tekiijent.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. With a gentle breeze of 8 knots out of the southwest, rising to a moderate breeze of 11 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were generally behaved for most as four DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. The first DNF, occurring during the first race, was from a skipper pulling his boat after frustration from being stuck in irons right after the start. The second and third DNFs, one also in the first race and the later in the second race, were from skippers crashing while crossing over region corners. The remaining DNF, occurring in the second race, was from a skipper’s connection dying on her during the race. The crowds that gathered along the shores of 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 gripping display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Short) and a two lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Five Bandit IFs, four sailing single-handed and one crewed respectively, and one Bandit 25R rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Sandra (WWWAAAA Resident) and Sea (filax Carter) both finished tied with 18 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

“If there is a series score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.“

Skipper	Best Finish	Next Best Finish
WWWAAAA Resident	7	11
filax Carter	8	10

With the race results rearranged in best to worst finish order, per A8.1, the tie breaks in Sandra’s favor with having a seventh place finish over Sea’s eighth place finish as her best.

Markis (Marcus Schechter) and Sirius (Sirius Rosca) finished tied with 20 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:

“If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.“

Skipper	Race 1	Race 2
Marcus Schechter	11	9
Sirius Rosca	9	11

In the last race, Markis breaks the tie with Sirius with his ninth place finish over Sirius’s eleventh place finish.

Cole (ColeBatriani Resident) and Max (Maximiliano Szondi) finished tied with 26 points. As they both have duplicate finishes in each race, a DNF (Did Not Finish) in the first race and DNS (Did Not Start) in the second race respectively, neither Rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking their tie. Therefore, Cole and Max remain tied in thirteenth place overall.

The crowds that gathered on the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, as well as along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, reveled in an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

Choppy to calming seas, with a great fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta.

All three DNFs were due to skippers crashing on region crossings. The storm clouds blew away for the big boat portion as every skipper finished.

Bandit Regatta – Jan 17th 2022

From the left (in boats): Emileigh and Jools (Bandit IF), Juicy (Bandit 22 LTE), Sirius (Bandit IF), Rugger and Rosa (Bandit 22 LTE), Max and Wyndi (Bandit IF), Jackson (Bandit IF), Aymalie (Bandit IF), Moon (Bandit IF), Sea (Bandit 22 LTE), Alex (Bandit IF), and Zimtzicke (Bandit 22 LTE).
On the race committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Daenerys, Caethes, and Julia. On the pier: Asher, and Anne.

Calm seas, with another nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Bandit Regatta. The North Sea regions were well behaved for most with two DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. The first DNF was attributed to a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The remaining DNF occurred during the second race as a skipper got stripped from their boat mere meters from the finish. The crowds that gathered on the beach of 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 an exciting display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Short) and a two lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was made up of a majority of seven Bandit IFs, five sailing single-handed and two sailing with crew respectively. Four Bandit 22 LTEs rounded out this weeks Bandit fleet.

Today also saw the completion of the North Sea Standard Yearly Adjustment. All handicaps in today’s regatta are from the new adjustment. The North Sea Standard is now at 0:10:30, down from last years 0:10:33. This is in part due to a full year of SL™ being hosted on Amazon servers, with most of that showing in improved successful region crossings helping shave off lap times across every boat. With the publication of this adjustment, we now have handicap times for the The Mesh Shop (TMS) Amnesia (0.74), TMS Captains Launch (0.52), WildWind SC-40 (0.96), and the TMS Star Vintage has a crewed handicap (0.55) separated from it’s single-handed handicap (0.49). Another highlight from this years adjustment include the Trudeau Patchogue II being adjusted down to 0.50 from 0.56 after stale lap times from 2014 were retired from it’s table. North Sea Olympic Course (Long), the course the North Sea Standard is based on, was used 31 times in 2021, with the winning time of each race added to the data the standard is based on. From those 31 races, 300 finishing times were used to help update the handicap values of more than 36 boats in our table.
