All Class Handicap Autumn Series Day 2 @ Seaview

“A beautiful bottom to middle of A-rig breeze. Steady conditions and good for checking boat speed.

 

We did a modified handicap system where

 –  the winning boat from this race had to do a penalty on the first leg of the next race

 – and the last placed boat started 10 seconds ahead in the next race

Unfortunately, we didn’t quite get it right. The aim was to increase penalties/time advantage to bring the boats together more, but it didn’t happen.

 

The reason for doing penalties as a handicap was to get more boats starting at the same time, so we could practice starts better. I think that aspect worked.”
