Title: Cherub Handicap
Post by: Phil Alderson on March 05, 2010, 12:23:04 PM

Latest RYA figures out and we now have an experimental number of 950

RYA PN List (http://www.rya.org.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/technical/Web%20Documents/Portsmouth%20Yardstick%20General/2010%20Part%207%20PN%20List.pdf)

Quite a bit higher than I was expecting

The RYA's unpublished recommended 'trial number' has been 948 (based on extremely limited info) for the past couple of years when I have enquired.

So it is not really suprising to see 950 is now there published  'experimantal' number as there must have been barely any new data from last year.

My recommendation would be for latest version 05 boats to continue offering the class recomended 930 (based on data and inituition by PhilA) to PROs. The boats are very capable at that and it will help you get to heaven.

Heaven is a bit ambitous I was just aiming from the finish line.

Pete, did you sail off 930 in all the winter open handicaps ?

Aren't the RYA nice!

Agree that we should continue to sail off 930.  I suspect that if we did get real figures based on more data they would not show the full potential of the boats due to the amount of capsizing we do. Not you Pete.
