Calm seas, with a light fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Open Regatta of November, 2022. With Summer Time ending for Europe this past weekend and North America ending Daylight Savings Time this upcoming weekend, Secondlife™ time is one hour earlier for those in Europe this week. As a result, this week every year gives us our lightest fleet turnouts. The North Sea regions were generally well behaved with one DNF (Did Not Finish) recorded on the day. The lone DNF, occurring during the big boat portion, was due to a skipper crashing while crossing from the Sloe region into the Sapodilla region, resulting in her boat taking a relaxing swim in our assistant race director Daenerys’ pool on her island in the Persimmon region. The crowds that gathered along 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, cheered on a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

“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

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

Cat Fight – June 3rd 2022

From the left (in boats): Daenerys and Tamarushka (TMS Flying Shadow), Julie (TMS Flying Shadow), Max (TMS Flying Shadow), Sirius (TMS Flying Shadow), Moon (TMS Flying Shadow), and Sea (WildWind AC-45).
On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Caethes, and Ricki. On the pier: Asher.

Great sim sailing weather, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, rising to 21 knots during the second race, The North Sea regions were well behaved as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF was attributed to a skipper crashing while crossing across region corners during the second race. The crowds that assembled along the shores of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and on the small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on the frenetic fleet-foiled feline furor on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Bowline Reverse and the North Sea Torpedo courses, was made up of a majority of five The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, four sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively. One WildWind AC-45 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet in the first race. Two Flying Shadow skippers opted for different boats, one a WildWind AC-62, and another a TMS Nacra 17, for the second race.

Race Notes:
Max (Max Starostin) and Sirius (Sirius Rosca) finished tied with 9 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
Max Starostin	5	4
Sirius Rosca	4	5

In the last race, Max breaks the tie with Sirius with his fourth place finish over Sirius’s fifth place finish.
