Laser went slower? But I didn't even sail one this summer? You mean there are other sh*t laser sailors out there too???

-6 for one of my boats.  +6 for the other (although that's not shown in the change column!).  I do much better in the +6 boat already.  Hmmmm.  I just don't get how the 300 is still falling - within 1/2 or a percent of the RS500.  Wow!

Same old song and dance.
Some big changes on sparse data.

Well, seems the RS400 direct debit hasn't been cancelled yet!

Don't blame me, I don't sail mine on PY.

These PY's should only be used as a guide.  Any results sent via PYS on line provide recomended handicaps  that can be used instead.  Far fairer and easy to implement just need some guts of the committee to stand by their comitments. 

As a club we have been using the online system for our PY's for several years now and we have some very competitive top end of the series and everyone enjoys the possibility of winning.

Having been a member of said committees, the issue is not guts, but having any meaningful data on which to make a decision. Otherwise you descend into opinion and resentment. We only ever had two classes with enough data to make adjustments with any confidence, Laser and Solo. We did adjust those, but they weren't the biggest standouts.

Right now our club waters seem to favour Aeros, as they seem to be winning everything in all conditions.

- 6 for the RS300.   I'd say that is mighty  impressive for a 20 year old, 'strict' one design.  One can only think the helms must be sailing deities; naturally, me excepted.   

You have to feel sorry for the Terra Sport at -25.   Still, those pesky little fec kers are annoyingly quick.  From now on, I may feel a tad less guilty sailing over them to windward  Wink

And how did the Halo go 5 points slower? Surely some mistake?

A quick comparison of boat races counted in 2016 and 2017 suggests little difference between the two years: perhaps even a few more in 2017. Curious therefore that 160+ contributing clubs are thanked in 2016 but only 75 in 2017.
