06-07 VYC Yardsticks 05-06 VYC Yardsticks I think it just changes as required based on the results that are handed in by the class association, no limit to how much it can change between revisions.
Apparently Rohan's results in the foilers do not generally get counted for the yardstick calculation because he is generally so far ahead of the rest. When you're winning most 20-25 minute races of a worlds by 5 minutes, you're an anomaly and shouldn't be counted statistically.
But why exclude him? He is sailing the boat to it's current potential(I'm sure there is more in the boat); if people cannot do so, then they need to get better. Does Rohan ever race on handicap ?
From the Moth worlds report on
Y+Y he won one race by 5 mins (and it does not say the duration of the races, but Garda races are usually an hour+) and 8 in a row. Yes he is the best Moth sailor in the world, he is showing the others how to do it. But is it fair to rate the Moth SLOWER than it plainly is just because the rest of the fleet have not caught up with him - I don't think so.
