How about we start doing the area eliminations without Portsmouth numbers? Straight one-design just like all the other US SAILING ladder events.
This what you're talking about Mark? seperate starts?
use their one design finish position
How is it determined who the qualifier is?
Pardon me for being a bit slow
I'm pretty sure that what Mark is saying that the area qualifier would be a stop on the local points circuit for the larger classes....H16, TheMightyHobie18, N20, A-cat...The race would continue to be conducted under the portsmouth handicap but within the results, each class earns points in their annual respective class points. The first place a-cat get's his a-cat class points and so on.
Rhody's suggestion has merit too but I, personally, would rather continue the open portsmouth event as they are slightly more inclusive of everyone.
