It's a fatuous question, really, coz I bet DNF doesn't get added to the PY database, let alone DNS...

But "unsailable when very windy" should definitely affect a boat's PY...

Make that a Fire rig with a handicap of 1071 if it's windy and it's game on..

Graham

What makes you think that it is that high ?  Nobody has applied that sort of number in any race - highest used that I know regularly applied is/was 1065 (same as an Aero7) and the GL number is something like  a provisional 1050.   My own club uses 1061 currently etc.
 
Fire (and Halo's) can race at our Blaze events, even at the Nationals but they enjoy separate starts and are not involved in the overall Blaze results.  Come along and we'll sort out a Fire rig if it is of interest - lightweights and some of the more 'mature' plus women are tending to use them for much of the time and after this breezy winter quite a few of the heavier have joined them on some days.  There is little point is fighting the wind if the conditions would otherwise keep you on the shore and a better option is to hand.  Some days it seems the club has attracted more spectators from some apparently 'popular classes' than competitors recently !

No longer need to guess as the 2016 figures have finally been posted on RYA site. See http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/Pages/portsmouthyardstick.aspx

Lasers have got slower again and Wayfarers quicker. Some relief for the Phantoms as they stay the same.

Can't imagine that these figures will provide ammunition for more than a few (hundred) posts but that has never stopped anybody!!!!

Umm, I predicted "RS300 will drop to into the late 970s or bang on 980.   The Laser 1 will get slower."

RS300 is now 979 and gets 6 point faster and the Laser 1 goes 4 points slower.

Should we have a new thread or moan on this one?
