Hello



Three major distance races use the weight correction system of portsmouth.



The Statue of Liberty race (has for years), the C100, and now apparantly, the RTI race. These ratings are easy to modify for crew weight since the DPN or non windspeed rating is used.

I don't know about the NE 100



I don't believe the Mug race, Hogsbreath orSteeple chase in the Key's use the weight adjustments. Rick White is opposed to weight correction and he is running several of these events.





Triangle racing is another story.

Colin has a modification planned for Sailwave that would allow an easy adjustment of the rating numbers in the program. For now, you must caclulate the ratings for all 4 windspeeds and enter this rating as a seperate entry into the database for your weight level... eg Heavy 3. Weight adjustments for the triangle races become a pain in the butt to use. OCRA uses weight adjustment in all of their racing... CRAC leaves it up to the PRO for the event to decide.



Effective use of the weight ajustment system is waiting for modifications to the Sailwave scoring program AND for registration forms to require crew weight data.
