Does the FF have a keelboat rating? I will of course enquire of the Club I'm thinking of asking to tag onto their bay races.

Why do we need rating systems? To allow The search for a perfect rating system is as old as sailboat racing itself. However, regardless of what rating system is actually in use, an ideal rating system should have the following features

I think Marwen has discovered the site and is happily reading through all our ramblings from the last few years. I'm enjoying seeing some of the threads again!

Rascal requires a keelboat novice rating.

Been sailing more in the last couple of weeks than I usually manage in a month. Been throwing the Lightning round the fixed lap, concentrating far too hard!

I think Marwen is as bored as I am of the repetitive posturing and polarising views about getting back to racing and so is stirring the pot a bit - which is not a bad thing to do.
