Can you tell me what the PY is for the Feva with the normal main & jib not the XL version.

It is only the XL that is in the RYA PY list?

Cheers

The simple answer is that there isn't one as such. Your club handicapper needs to allocate a trial number. Its not likely to be very different from the XL number to be quite honest. We use 1260 at my club if that's any help to you, but its got a large chunk of "finger in the air" about it.

The problem is that the XL config is now the standard config for all Feva events and as such most kids are only racing the XL rig.

As Jim says its a bit finger in the air, but I'd add about 15-20 to the XL number.

I'd bet rather more than that, 30 to 40 points, I'd think, unless the boat is sailed somewhere consistently windy.
