A small turn out yet nicely mixed fleet featured in this weeks North Sea Trudeau Classic Regatta. A Patchogue II, T-12, Trudeau One, HepCat, and a Francois Jacques were on display in a nicely mixed fleet. Racing was fun and spread out due to each boat’s different handicaps. The first race was run on North Sea Trapezoid and the second race on North Sea Manta, recently created by our RD Julia.

From left: Cryptic (in her 12 Metre), Jamie, Julia, Nenrio, Rulette, Sue, Nagy, Petra, and Joshua.

This weeks Trudeau Classic Regatta, in The North Sea, featured some close 12 Metre racing along with a decent turn out. The fleet for the first race, on North Sea Olympic Long, was almost entirely 12 Metre’s, with five, except for one lone T12 making up the remainder. The second race, on the newly created North Sea Manta, substituted a New York 30, and added a Patchogue II, for a fleet of seven. Racing was close among the 12 Metre’s up front in both races.

This week we also recalculated the handicap for the 12 Metre, now at 0.76 up from 0.69. You can see our North Sea Handicap table here. Over the course of a year of racing the 12 Metre, people have discovered how to sail it faster. Petra will have a post tomorrow with more on this.

The racing was quite tight between Peter and I in our 12 Metres, and also Thea and Sue in their Leetle Cat II and Trudeau 12. Peter and I finished within’ seconds of each other in the second and third races, while both Thea and Sue exchanged positions several times in their closely matched boats.

The first race, on NS-SOL-13B, saw some spirited competition among the 12 Metre’s with everyone chasing Peter after he passed Cole on the first upwind beat. The rest of the 12 Metre’s remained tight all the up to the finish. The small Patchogue II pack also some some tight racing as Asami and Omar were close for the entire course.

The second race, on North Sea Butterfly, saw Elbag switch out his Francois Jacques for a T-12, however RL came knocking and he recorded a DNF as he had to leave. The rest of the fleet saw some exciting racing between Peter and I, right from the start. The sound of Peter’s sails were in my ears the entire course as he stuck tight with me, finishing a mere 20 seconds behind me.

The first race, on NS-SOL-13A, saw some great racing among the 12 Metre pack as Peter and Cole were sailing close throughout the course. Initially, Cole had barged Peter at the start line, however as the foul didn’t actually impede or cause any loss of time to Peter, it was the race directors decision to overrule the protest lodged by Peter.

The second race, on the recently created North Sea Extreme course, saw some spirited competition once again among the !2 Metre fleet, as I would up catching up to Cole on the course and finally passing her right at the finish line. Asami in her Patchogue II and Rosie in her Leetle Cat II also were exchanging position back and forth through the course making for some fun racing.
