Can I ask if any race officers out there can suggest a suitable handicap for an RS Feva S dinghy? There is a PY for the more common XL model (1200) but nothing quoted for the slower 'S' variant with no Gennaker and a soft unbattened main. Feva S can be sailed 2-up with a main and a jib or singlehanded with just the main. Any suggestions?

We use 1260, but not with huge statistical backup.

Yep, I would go with something like that. You can always tweek it after all.

I expect that you are about right with 1260. Is this for 2-up or singlehanded with 1 sail? May I ask which club you are with Jim C?

Our two none XLs are both singlehanded, one sail.

I believe the last event I was PRO at there were 3 none Xls I cant remember the exact numbers but I believe singlehanded 1 sail 1265 and double handed 1260 with main + jib

Singlehanded on XL rig is recommended at the Laser 4.7 PY
