After being away for a week we are back with the first North Sea Bandit IF Regatta for February, 2023. We had three races scheduled today. Nevertheless, we had six Bandit IFs at the start. Today’s starts would give some problems because we had to sail with a completely different wind direction than usual.

The three races were exciting and the skippers were evenly matched. This would make the decision fall in the last race.

There were two DNFs (Did Not Finish) and one DSQ (Disqualified) through all three races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.

Today’s winners were Julie (JulieRoyale Resident), with Moon (Moonglownight Resident) second, and Jack (Jacquimo Resident) in third place.

Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to everyone who came to sail and spectate.

Race Notes:
Siri (Sirius Rosca) was disqualified (DSQ) during the first race for finishing under protest while failing to complete a 360° penalty turn due to a Rule 11 On The Same Tack, Overlapped foul at the start, colloquially known as barging.

“11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED
When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat.“

Calm seas, with a nice fleet turnout, highlighted the first North Sea Bandit Regatta for November, 2022. 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 as two DNFs (Did Not Finish) were recorded on the day. Both DNFs were attributed to skippers crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered on the lighthouse observation deck 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 peppy display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers. This weeks fleet, sailing on the North Sea Olympic Short Reverse and North Sea WC Reach 2 courses, was made up of a majority of eight Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, three sailing single-handed and once crewed respectively, rounded out his weeks Bandit fleet.

Race Notes:
Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the second race tied at the finishing line with a time of 12:14. As their final time also remains tied, as they both sailed the same boat, Rule A7 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to score this tie:

“If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.“

Therefore, both Emileigh and Moon receive 1.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 1 and 2, added together and divided equally.

The lone DNF was due to a skipper pulling her boat during the first race after her connection acted up. 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, delighted in a great display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

emiliopc7 Resident	7	8

In the last race, Diana breaks the tie with Emilio with her seventh place finish over Emilio’s eighth place finish.

Emileigh (Emileigh Starbrook) and Fil (Filmore Dash) finished tied with 18 points. As they both have the exact same finishes from each race, 9 point finishes in both races 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, Emileigh and Fil remain tied in ninth place overall.

The four other skippers, Siri, Zero, Rugger and Jack, were already slightly behind. They would be competing for third place. Julie and Fanny would compete for first place.

By the time of the first and only mark, Fanny was already ahead of the fleet with Zero and Julie. Fanny would increase her lead in the final leg.

The third and final race was again led by the same six boats. A skipper gave up in the first leg. Fanny took the lead with Jack in second. Julie, Zero and Siri had to follow at a distance. Another battle for third place ensued between Julie and Siri, but the match already seemed over.
