During a review by Central Council of the status of the Sonar Class Association and a lack of current Certificate holders, it was decided to review all our listed One Design Classes (as per the Handicappers Manual Appendage)
The much anticipated, Point to Point handicap offset, has been calculated and preliminary numbers generated.
For 2020, your Central Council are releasing preliminary numbers for race organizers to use.
NOTE: The Point to Point handicap system is still being reviewed for implementation as early as 2021. The use of these numbers for 2020 and earlier racing is for information purposes only and could be used to re-score long distances Point to Point racing to view the outcome.
The following is the suggested inclusion into the Handicappers Manual:
Handicappers Manual Part II
6.7 Point to Point (P2P) handicap
A FS-P2P & NFS-P2P handicap will be calculated for all certificates.
Your Central Council of Handicappers reviewed the NFS-Delta changes for 2020.
Most classes will see a change to the NFS handicap, but on average, everyone in your fleet will have similar changes.
All Mainsail must be measured or be subject to a 3 sec/nm penalty.
Including missing Main Girth Top.
At the winter Central Council meeting, it was confirmed that we will now be implementing the penalty for "Unmeasured Mainsails" on certificates that are missing ANY mainsail measurements.
In 2018 Central Council implemented the penalty for Unmeasured Mainsails.
Handicappers can now request that a "Class" be added to the Alert Review done by Central Council at their February meeting.
