I've been looking at buying a Quartet which I plan to sail at my local club under the PY system.

Does anyone know anything about Quartets and what PY number should be used.

Byron software puts the quartet at 1039 which sounds about right. I don't know much about the Quartet except that it is the cruisier sister to the Quattro (there was a Quattro racing on the Forth in 2005 to a handicap of 1028), both designed by David Thomas as quarter-tonners. The Quartet has a higher coachroof and consequently a smaller mainsail. Here my knowledge ends!
