OK, so that result merely confirms what we already know: that on any reasonable average PY (looks like 575 was used in the B.M.?) and assuming a capable sailor, a foiling Moth will either win big-time if it's foiling or else lose ignominiously if it isn't foiling.
Does anyone's club have a solution to this that allows everyone to have a half-way fair race (as fair as normal PY racing, that is)

It's just as fair as normal PY racing, just a bigger difference. Interesting to see Mr Craig's Merlin sailing has gone up a gear since last year! When all is said and done, Belben and Lennon are deserving winners. |

Yeah I was sailing it and the fact that we were 30 points lower on the handicap we were given than what we would normally use (1036) meant that it was incredibly difficult to sail to the handicap we were given (1006). It was a blast though so I came off the water smiling and after enjoying the race so much, the results did't seem to be the most important thing! Hopefully at the next event it does it won't be penalized on handicap so much !

Yeah ... those 30 points probably cost you a position in the top 200 ...

If you came off the water smiling, especially at this time of year, who gives a flying fu@k how 'well' you did or what dick-in-arse handicap they saddled you with. Well done for taking out a cool boat and enjoying it! |

Yep great day's sailing. And now they are managing the boat park it is not the nightmare of yesteryear. Well done. My 4 and 6 year old enjoyed the spectacle too!
