Hi Darryn

I agree most H16s we come across seem slower than Mosquitoes but I have seen some in VIC that destroy the best Mosquitoes in winds above 15 knots. They need the breeze to do it so who knows what the handicap difference should be on average. VYC is supposed to be a comparison between "well sailed" boats of each class, so the slow ones are not supposed to figure in the setting of the handicap.

The other interesting thing is the way cats are always rated faster than sloops on SCHRS. In the VYC system I've never seen this happen. Maricats, Taipans and Mozzies (in SA) all have sloops rated faster than cats.

Anyone - are there any SCHRS numbers for Taipan 4.9s?
