Topic: kite for hobie16 Posted: 22 Jan 05 at 9:11pm |
I am planning to put a B14 kite on my Hobie 16 using a Hobie Tiger spinnaker pole and bag system. Has anyone done this before and how did you get on? Also how could you work out a PY number? Thanks for any help. Alan T |

Is a Hobie 16 mast tall enough? PY are not "worked out" they are provided by the RYA from racing returns made by clubs - so I'm afraid you wont get a PY for your Hobie unless you get a few others to do the same thing and enter lots of races - in which case they'll estimate one and adjust when they have some results. Sorry, I don't want to sound negative, give it a go and it should be lots of fun. |

You'd be able to work out the ISAF SCHRS handicap by putting the details of the kite into the spreadsheet - see www.schrs.com. By my reckoning it works out at 1.10 instead of 1.16 for a standard H16. If you need to to race under PY you could convert the exist PY by multiplying it by 1.10/1.16. The principal behind the RYA PY system is that any boat should be able to get a PY. If a boat doesn't have a Primary Number (PN) or Secondary Number (SN)your club can allocate a Trial Number (TN) without having to involve the RYA. At my club we've done this for several cats (Stealth and Spitfire) where there are no RYA primary or secondary numbers. |

Hang on, B14 and H16? Were you at Vass last October by any chance?
