Trudeau Classic Regatta – Feb 8th 2018

This weeks Trudeau Classic Regatta saw some smooth sim weather with a great crowd turnout. The sims behaved for both races as there were no crashes recorded (Joshua had RL grab him for a DNF in the first race). Spectators crowded along the beaches of Lighthouse Isle in the Ziziphus region and along the beaches in the Eden Albatros region to watch the Trudeau fleet in action. This weeks fleet was composed of four Patchogue IIs in the first race with two Runa IVs joining in the second race.

This weeks North Sea Thursday Regatta, raced as a Trudeau Patchogue II class race, saw a great turnout. Nine sailors turned out to make an impressive cat boat fleet. The sims were a bit choppy during the first race but smoothed out for the second, as no DNF’s were recorded in that one.

The first race, on the NS-1b course, saw the fleet get off to a great start as half the fleet was across the start line in under 30 seconds. We did have some choppyness in this race as Joshua’s boat stopped responding to input forcing him to record a DNF and Trey and Dess both crashed, causing DNF’s as well.

The second race, on the NS-SOL-13B course, saw much smoother sim weather and another great fleet start. The entire fleet was across the start line in under 40 seconds, considering the Patchogue II’s slower speeds this was quite amazing.

This weeks Trudeau Classic Regatta, in The North Sea, saw a great turn out for both races with some really nice sim weather. The fleet was composed of five 12 Metre’s, with the remainder made up of a New York 30, a Leetle Cat II, and a Patchogue II.

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.

Race Director: Julia
Wind: SW (225°) 18kts

This weeks Trudeau Regatta, in The North Sea, saw some fun and exciting racing along with some great sim weather. This weeks fleet was made up of a majority of four 12 Metre’s, with a NY30, a Leetle Cat II, and a Patchogue II rounding out the fleet.

The first race, on course NS-1b, saw some fun racing between Rosie’s Leetle Cat II and Madelin’s Patchogue II towards the rear, with Omar’s NY30 keeping just ahead of them both. Unfortunately, Peter was over the line early and had to go around to start again, then ran into some trouble and was ultimately a DNF.

The second race, on course NS-Wc Reach, saw some late arrivals in Ruletter and Lez, with their 12 Metre’s. The 12 Metre pack was close, with several position changes between Rulette and myself, with some great displays of wind shadowing. Ultimately, Peter pulled out way ahead and had clear air until the end.

Cole arrived just towards the end of race 2, so it was decided to hold a third race with just 12 meter’s, no points, just fun. Once again, wind shadowing was at play with several position changes due to it through out the fleet.

This weeks Trudeau Regatta, in The North Sea, saw some really fun tight racing and smooth sim weather. This weeks fleet was made up of five Trudeau 12 Metre’s and one Patchogue II.

The first race, NS-SOL-13A, saw the 12m pack spread out with some tight racing up front between Peter and Cole, and further back between Sue, Arya, and myself. Peter went on to ultimately take line honors with Cole just behind him.

The second race, NS-SOL-13B, saw more spirited racing in the 12 Metre pack. n the final leg, the downwind run to the finish from the southern tip of the island in Ziziphus, Arya and I were neck and neck until the finish line. I just squeaked out ahead of Arya in what was a really fun drag race to the line.

This week we are bringing the Trudeau Regatta in line with the same points system we use for our Bandit Regatta. Points will be awarded according to the final handicap adjusted finish in each race. Skippers who do not finish a race, or are disqualified score the number of boats in the race plus one. Points earned in both races will be combined and then the final placement will be sorted by lowest score. Point ties will be decided using Appendix A8 Series Ties from Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing. Prize plaques will be awarded for the first, second, and third place finishers based on the final points tally.

From Left (in boats): Cryptic (Trudeau 12m), Sue (Trudeau 12m), and Peter (Trudeau 12m).

Rule A8.1 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is first used to break this tie:

Cole and Cryptic still remain tied, however, and now rule A8.2 of Guidance on Scoring under Appendix A to the Rules of Sailing is used to break this tie:

If a tie still remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.

This weeks Trudeau Classic Regatta, in The North Sea, saw slightly choppy sim weather for the first race but cleared up for the second with some great sailing. The fleet was comprised of two 12 Metre’s, two Patchogue II’s, and a Leetle Cat II.

During the first race, racing was tight between Arya and I, on our 12 Metre’s, until a bad sim crossing caused my DNF. Arya was ahead at this point, on the final leg of North Sea’s NS-SOL-13C, and sailed on to a great finish. Racing was tight as well between Asami and Petra in their Patch II’s, with Petra finally passing Asami and pulling away on the second leg of the course.

In the second race, North Sea Butterfly, Arya and I both got off to great starts and were neck and neck for the entire race. Asami went as crew for Petra in this race, in Petra’s Patch II, and some spirited competition from PeterC in his Leetle Cat.

This week also marks the introduction of prize plaques for the Trudeau Classic Regatta. These will be awarded to the first through third place finishers in each race.
