The last North Sea Triple Threat of April saw a beautiful Thursday afternoon, with good sailing weather coming from the southwest. Today we had six Bandit 22 LTEs, two The Mesh Shop (TMS) Star Class, and two Bandit IFs at the starting line. A Star Class had crew on board.
For a change, everyone would start at the same time and since we only had more than two boats of the Bandit 22, these skippers would compete for the win. And they would do their best to stay together until the end of the races.
There were no DNFs (Did Not Finish) and two DSQs (Disqualified) through both races and it was another successful and sporty day in The North Sea.
