Default series scoring in RRS I think. Practicallying by the time you are counting letters in a single Regatta series the odd point or two is probably of limited interest...

Hi Jim
I disagree here, on a windy day when you go out complete one race but break something in the second a DNF can score much less than a DNS happened to me and would have bought me up about 6/8 places in a Nationals.
Petty I know but being able to say you made the top half rather than not quiet is good for the soul.

On the results list at the bottom, it shows everyone getting 68 points for a non finish, whether DNF or DSQ. Is that normal now (and presumably for a while)? Seems wrong that a retirement scores the same as a disqualified.

They are a great boat Rupert, really benefit from the extra length over a Laser and aero/zero. it takes a while to work out the rig especially if you have just climbed off a soft sail una rig. 

Most newbies say they don't point, but thats because they are doing it wrong, they will climb up and over a laser if sailed right. Also have a very wide wind range as you can cant it back when it gets fruity. That point alone allowed me some very good series results as with one rig I could depower so much and therefore keep the same entry all series. 

The semi soft sail una rig market has lots of competition - solo, lightning, streaker, phantom, laser, zero, aero etc etc. And whilst I expect Hartleys had a bit of a hiccup, its still a unique boat in the sector being fully battened and relatively light and long. The only other una rig boat that remains unique is the Blaze with its racks.
