SOLWAY YACHT CLUB - SELECTED NHC HANDICAPS 2013
NOTES
The examples given above show the elapsed time required to have each boat show a corrected time of exactly one hour. For example, in the above somewhat artificial race, the Hunter 20 would have to be within 10 minutes 36 seconds of the Sportina on the water to beat it.
NHC Handicaps supplied by the RYA. Calculations by the Sailing Secretary who believes they are correct but gives no warranty.
These NHC handicaps will be used for individual races e.g. the RNLI Regatta.
They will be the initial handicaps for multi-race events e.g. Kippford Week, after which the handicaps will be adjusted to take the previous results in the series into consideration.
Boats listed are considered possible competitors but handicaps for others are available. Speak to the Sailing Secretary.
The calculations get a bit complicated and further information is available at:
http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/Pages/NHC.aspx . Alternatively, again speak to the Sailing Secretary.
