Hey dazz,
I feel your pain, it took us years to convince our club that we only want loops. Catch is now i often lose count "is this lap 3 or 4?"
Our club's problem is we are trying to cater for sabres and spinnaker cats on the same course and all the catamarans (arafura cadet to f18) in the same division. the AC might do 1 or 2 laps with the f16/f18's will do 5. they then find you average lap time and apply the handicap to that. I hate it but without more boats to compete against what else can we do?
Anyone else seen this handicapping system?
