There will be some F18HT's there and some I20's - why not just 59.whatevertheyare?? Haha. I know you won't believe this but I believe the data system works (if everyone posts all their scores) - I just hate having two ratings that my boat conforms too; one is totally bogus and the other is suspect.

Not to belabour the point, but I still have these two questions:

1. If no one uses the F16U handicap will anyone care? (analogy: if a bear craps in the woods, ..... well, you know).
2. Why have a rating that no one will claim? 95% of F16 racing is under 65.2 (my guess at the percentage, no data to prove it AND I'd assume a lot of that racing is 1-up).

It seems like everyone would be better served by loading all the data in one single F16 config. BUT - I said I would go with whatever the US Sailing guru's say is the WORD. Get Jamie to respond to my last email and I'll go with it....

It is ironic that, the ONLY times (except for Tiki's last admission) that 67.1 was used was in Alter Cup qualifying (twice, diff areas). Hmmmm. RC made them do it. Hmmmm. In one case it didnt matter too much, but this last (Not-a-Regatta; that started this post - Sorry Oley) he would have won at 67.1 and 65.2 and whatever the F18 rating is he would have been in the hunt. I'd hate for that rating to factor into someone being eliminated from the AC finals.

Do any 1-up F16 sailors want to keep the 67.1 rating? I have not talked to any. Speak up. I am open to hearing all opinions.
