Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks North Sea Open Regatta. With a fresh breeze of 18 knots out of the southwest, The North Sea regions were mostly behaved as three DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. One DNF, occurring during the small boat portion, was due to a skipper deleting her boat after frustration from hitting the race dock right before the finish. The remaining two DNFs, occurring one a piece in each portion respectively, were from skippers crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of the islands in the Ziziphus and Genip regions, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier and small race dock in the Eden Jakana region, took in a thrilling display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing on the North Sea Triple Pink course, was made up of a majority of five Bandit 22 LTEs.

Cat Fight – June 24th 2022

From the left (in boats): Daenerys and Tamarushka (TMS Flying Shadow), Juicy (TMS Nacra 17), Isa (TMS Flying Shadow), Diana (WildWind AC-62), Max (WildWind AC-62), and Moon (TMS Flying Shadow).
On the Race Committee boat: Cryptic. On the dock: Red, and Caethes. On the pier: Como.

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted this weeks Cat Fight in The North Sea. The North Sea regions were well behaved as one DNF (Did Not Finish) was recorded on the day. The lone DNF, occurring during the first race, was due to a skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the beaches of 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 the feverish fleet-foiled feline flurry on display from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Triple Pink and North Sea Snipe courses, was made up of a majority of three The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadows, two sailing single-handed and one sailing crewed respectively. Two WildWind AC-62s, and one TMS Nacra 17 rounded out this weeks catamaran fleet in the first race. For the second race, an AC-62 skipper opted for her WildWind AC-45, and a Flying Shadow skipper opted for his Nacra 17 instead.
