the bart project

Nice idea give it a try who knows they may like being associated with such a great man

Pat I am thinking of doing it elsewhere as I may be back in a Hornet next year. Not exactly the boat for Shearwater

I should have proposed banning it then. Back on subject it seems our club may have an event booked already which would be difficult to bring into the spirit of this event so I will be looking to sail at another club or sail with someone else somewhere.

Roger if enough of us want to sail it we'll find a way. We're in.

No, because your score is your percentage of the average corrected time in your race, not in every race.

Originally posted by Dougal Not that it matters, but it'll be interesting to see how they work the results out.

Simple enough. You normalise all corrected times against a standard and convert.

Probably as good as any is to use the old PY "poor performers" algorithm to exclude the bottom end of the fleet - novices and capsizers - then average all the other corrected times. Then convert each boat's individual corrected time to a percentage of the average corrected time. Put all the results together and the crew with the lowest figure wins.
