	Well the faster boats passing thru the tide get a better lee bow effect so it all makes sense to me :-)

	I think Hayling strongly believe that in tidal conditions the adverse tide effects slower boats to a greater extent so penalise the faster boats.

	HISC adjust locally via the Racing committee. They have put quite a lot of thought into it and the numbers can change if a fleet dominate the results. The method of coming to the 'HISC figures' can be found on the following link. https://www.hisc.co.uk/media/1098/hisc_handicap_description.pdf These numbers are still not perfect and every dog will have its day. The Solo are generally very good on a light/medium day. If it is windy and there are a lot of spinnaker legs the RS200 and 29ers are pretty good. In other days/courses other boats are better but generally every dog can have it's day.

	Whilst we're at it, this is possibly a better subject to chat about the PY system within.
