A beautiful Thursday afternoon in June. A beautiful day for Triple Threat with good sailing weather coming in from the southwest. The North Sea was behaved well and there was not a cloud in the sky.
Today we had ten Bandits at the starting line of the first race. They were six Bandit 22 LTEs and four Bandit IFs. Two Bandit IFs and two of the 22s had crew on board. One of the IFs withdrew from the first race for personal reasons. Another skipper had to drop out during the race as well.
Today we had two great races. There were fights between the skippers. After the finish of the first race I had two skippers in my IM. something had happened at the finish line. However, it was no longer possible to give away a 360°. Because of this, I used a new solution, which one of the skippers came up with, to write out the 360°, by adding the time it takes for one skipper to the end time of the other skipper, eliminating the need for a DSQ.
There were three DNFs (Did Not Finish) and no DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Did Not Finish (DNF) = number of finish +1
Disqualified (DSQ) = number of finish + number of DNFs + 1
Did Not Start (DNS) = number of start +1
Today’s winners on the Bandit 22 LTE were Jenna (jnx1e Resident), with Emi (Emileigh Starbrook) second, and Cilian (Cilian McCullough) in third place.
