Further to that thread, we're making lots of noise what does the silent majority think?
Simple yes no. |

I couldn't give a flying f**k. The only racing that matters is fleet racing. Anything else is just larking about.

Within the parameters of the system it is getting better. I still think that fundermentally it should be a 3 figure system, as the stats really don't add upfor a 4 figure one. Too many variables in crew skill, weather, location and boat tune.
It just means people whinge a lot about a 10 point change - far more than they would about a 1 point one... |

Too right Rupert. 4 sig figs is beyond the wit of man.
I'm sure that with all the extra feedback thanks to clubs' results uploads, the figures must be becoming more representative. I just wish that instead of encouraging us to make local corrections (and spoiling the atmosphere at our clubs), the RYA would give some ball-park corrections or, better, separate tables for inland, sea and tidal. These could be established by calculation. We've considered introducing a tidal correction based on sound maths at WSC, but while nobody doubted that it would skew the results towards increased validity, we decided not to use them because of the fuss and discontentment it would cause. If the same set of numbers came off an RYA table there would be no complaints (alright, fewer complaints - some people will use any opportunity!)

didn't Alex hint that such a functionality would feature on the next release of the spreadsheets? I agree it crosses out the issue of accusations of 'Little Hitlers' when someone simply proposes to use the system as per the current recommended operating procedure. The history is nicely documented here: |
