I email US sailing with the spec's on my new Smyth sails for my TheMightyHobie18. My portsmouth rating was 71.5 with stock sails. they rated me at 69.7 corrected with the Smyth sails. not 2 bad of a hit considering the performance difference! I think I am better off now. We will see after first regatta. But I am confused about how I will be rated at regatta's. Even though I know what my hit should be from US sailing. What's the rule as for as what I can be rated at in a local regatta? does the person running the regatta set the handicap? or should I submit the email I got from US sailing with my rating? Whats the standard?
