Simon, for the record ANYONE can submit results to the DPN committee. Problem is very few submit results and I believe this more out of apathy than manipulation.
What insight do you have the DPN data is being abused and/or manipulated?
None; it's just I find it really odd that for example the N17 would be about 102ish under SCHRS (but without data I cannot be sure) yet it comes out at about 106 when you roughly convert the USPN to SCHRS(I used the F18 on both systems as the base).
We sail the the EU spec boat (heavier, smalller mainsail) on this (1.067 with a 19sqm kite, 1.073 with 17sqm kite). Something feels wrong somewhere.
We were doing OK sailing the EU spec 17 at 1.067 so I am concerned that I have not had a certificate form Nacra so I can confirm the rating for the N17.
Afterall there was a little agro at the last Carnac regatta about it; I would have HOPED Nacra EU would have fallen over themselves to provide the certificate to get a new rating for the boat.
