. . . I'm not sure how I can sail to those numbers apart from buying a blowup doll, fitting a jib and claiming a 2 handed handicap. To give time to the F18's, and fully sorted 20ft Hurricanes now thats harsh.
Pictures!?
I have no objection to sailing F18s even, but giving time is too much. That's a class killer for sure.
Its not a class killer at all as the amount of time is minimal but in my opinion the handicap rating of the single hander is tough, the two handed is probably about right for both single and dual. The maths unfortunately of SCHRS doesn't allow for the slower handling of sails etc by the single hander, but then no handicap system is perfect.
It just irked me a little to slowly but surely pass the F18 ahead only to find he then beats me on handicap.
Eric is certainly correct though in that we need to get better as sailors if we are to compete on more equal terms.
