Now that RYA has published 2012 ratings , I would hope that SCHRS do same for us cats , my clubs racing kicks of 1st April and it would be nice to start off the season with ratings that can be used all year , there isnt any news on SCHRS site , but cat sailing does seem to be an undercover dark art
Many thanks to those working away in the background on this

I thought that SCHRS was formulaic rather than based on analysis of race results. The rating is achieved by a formula which in essence takes into account the dimensions and characteristics of the boat and once reached it is pretty much set in stone... unless you modify the boat in some way. Below is a small extract which can be found at http://schrs.com/index.php C.3.1 Rated Measurements

You are right, but the formula has been revised...

Oh I wish !!! , (but thats another story )
the system administrators of SCHRS are constantly evaluating their formula , fine tuning and "improving " as and when they see fit , boats evolve , new features appear, and as enlightened administrators they realise no handicapping sytem can be perfect so strive to iron out irregularities once sufficient data has proved discrepancies , these rule changes which change ratings , historically have been introduced , logically at the begining of a season .
As a performance indicator of the rule , Im sure that race results , times etc are heavily scrutinised and evaluated with much consideration .
This isnt the first update to the rule , i had a wee inkling ( read insight ) that another was to be published alongside updated ratings hence my request .
No measurement rule I know of "is set in stone " our fellow lead mine sailors using irc will attest this , with RORC updating and fine tuning as circumstance require .
Many thanks to all that do the number crunching and head scratching in the persuit of providing a fair system for all in racing , cats , leadmines etc .

It is intresting (to me anyway) that the offical py for the dart 18 and the Hobbie 16 have them close but with the Hobbie slightly higher but SCHRS has them the other away around and much further apart. Is it just that they don't sail the way the formula works it out in the uk or is it something else?

I learnt from a post on the sprint15 forum that they may be looking at a more favourable rating allowance for boats that have skegs rather than centre/daggerboards i.e. Dart18 / Sprint15.

I have a feeling curved boards and square tops are going to play a major part in the revisions
