The RYA has published an article that may be useful for our Members, Handicappers and owners while considering options for racing on Lake Ontario.
Ontario Sailing has taken the lead on getting more details about Premier Ford's May 14th Announcement.
Your Executive and Central Council both held Zoom meetings this past month.
There were many items discussed that may impact you or your Certificate Holders.
Racing 2020 may seem like an impossible dream, but many of our Members are finding creative ways to get their passions going.
Pursuit racing has been raised many times and with that, there are references & tools that we are collecting for you to consider.
A few changes have been made to the Handicappers Manual (s)
- All Parts have been updated to a PDF with "clickable" table of contents. This will also allow for a cleaner downloaded copy.
Updates to the Handicappers Worksheet for 2020 are complete!
The Handicappers Worksheet is available to Registered Member Handicappers only.
For 2020, we have updated the NFS-Delta on all classes and included a Point to Point (P2P) Preliminary number on the ASP Tab.
After re-calculating and re-printing every one of the over 1500 certificates, certificate renewals for the 2020 racing season can now be done.
Please read more for details!
I just finished an overhaul of our web site menu.
So before you yell....Where is everything NOW!

The IC37 has arrived on Lake Ontario.
A Mark Mills design, built by Westerley Marine and FIBRE Mechanics, led by Melges Perfomance Sailboat.
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.
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.
Fellow Certificate Holders,
It is great to see so many clubs getting a start on the racing season of 2020, albeit with reduced numbers.
