So, after a while, the PY rating will become "easy" making the boat a bit of a bandit and as soon as a decent sailor "borrows" one, they clean up as the PY does not reflect the speed of the boat, it reflets the speed of the boat, and ALSO the speed of the people who sail the boat.


True but only because of the way the PN rating is being implemented!

The solution is to make a new rule for this circumstance consistent with the basic PN assumptions.... eg the boat is actively raced in its class.

so... I propose... when a class does not hold a nationals with 10 boats for two years. the PN rating is frozen at the rating when the class last managed a nationals.
