And many thanks to those keen amateurs for taking this on to get the class up and running. I won;t embarass them by naming them

Looks to me like an RYA publication pertaining to the sailing instructions for the Battle of the Classes, which I assume is an RYA organized event, not an RYA technical committee publication.
I'd imagine Simon Lovesey is somewhat busy at the boat show right now, but he would be the person to be able to answer any questions? Looking at the list, the absence of Solos surprised me. Still time, I guess. |

Exactly my thoughts Jim, its what made it look even fishier to me! It certainly looks like the official RYA PY list that gets published. Bit naughty using the RYA logo if it is not affiliated to the RYA or indeed approved by any of the committee technical or otherwise. As it stands it looks like (on RYA backing) that a D-Zero and Aero PY have been given, just be keen to see any data! has there even been any returns for either classes yet? Russ

For the sake of clarity and transparency, the D-Zero CA papers have been submitted to the RYA for approval and adoption of the class. The only two names on the application are two keen amateurs, our CA is a members organisation.

Not to my knowledge. No idea why there's an RYA logo on that doc, but think there's some mountain building going on. Whatever it is, it doesn'tlook to me like a document that has any weight beyond throne event. Edited by JimC - 18 Sep 14 at 1:34pm |

well, okay then... I guess that's fairly official looking.
Thanks for the correction.

James, here is the link for you.
written in the RYA format, with their logo on the top of the page. As you know they wont give PY guidance to a class, however with no data they have drawn the above as a conclusion...

Sorry i wouldn't know (I just do our numbers).
To be honest I wouldn't be surprise if no number came out for the two boats in March next year. There'll be so little data from the few boats actually sailing it'll need all of next year to get something reasonable out of the system. As a club we've based it on the GL numbers but added 10pts onto them as a starting point. We update our PY's twice a year so if our local number is drastically different, we don't have to wait all year to change it. Alex |
