Race Notes:
Rugger (ruggeromare Resident) and Moon (moonglownight Resident) both finished the small boat portion tied at the finishing line with a time of 15:18. 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:

Therefore, both Rugger and Moon receive 4.5 points, as the product for the place for which they have tied and for the place immediately below, 4 and 5, added together and divided equally.

ViV (vivipezz Resident) was disqualified (DSQ) during the big boat portion for missing the last course mark before crossing the finish line, the orange buoy in the Eden Jakana region.

Sandra (WWWAAAA Resident) and Zimtzicke (Nicole Myhre) both finished tied with 14 points. Rule A8.1 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

Vicky (Vicky4698 Resident) and Theresa (Resi Pfeffer) both finished tied with 22 points. As they both have the exact same finishes in each race, a DNF (Did Not Finish) for the small boat portion and a DNS (Did Not Start) for the big boat portion, neither Rule A8.1 or A8.2 of Appendix A, Scoring, 2021 – 2024 World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing will satisfy breaking this tie. Therefore, Vicky and Theresa remain tied in twelfth place overall.

Calm to choppy seas, with a great 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 smooth for everyone during the small boat portion, as thirteen boats completed two laps of our Short Loop course. However, the seas grew rough during the big boat portion, with four DNFs (Did Not Finish) recorded. Of those four DNFs, three were due to skippers pulling their boats after either losing WWC wind, or script issues with their boat. The fourth DNF was due to skipper crashing while crossing over region corners. The crowds that gathered along the shores of the island in the Ziziphus region, and along the Poseidon Centre Spectator Pier in the Eden Jakana region, cheered on an energetic display of fleet racing from this weeks skippers.

This weeks small boat fleet, sailing a two lap affair on the North Sea Short Loop course, was comprised of a majority of seven Bandit 22 LTEs. Four Bandit IFs, one The Mesh Shop (TMS) Laser One, and one Quest 2m rounded out this weeks small boat fleet. Meanwhile, the big boat fleet, sailing on North Sea Olympic Course (Long), was comprised of a majority of four TMS I-Mocca 60s. Three WildWind Open 60s, two Trudeau Runa IVs¹, one TMS Ushuaia, and one Bandit 55 rounded out this weeks big boat fleet.

¹The Trudeau Runa IV has had a small adjustment to it’s handicap value as of today’s regatta. It is now at 0.57, up from it’s old value of 0.56. The full handicap table as well as a link to the Google Sheets used to calculate it can be found here: North Sea Handicap Table
