As Mike mentions, one can do a class within a portsmouth handicapped group. CRAC has done this as well. It actually is a little more expensive as you add to the trophy count, but a sailor has two shots at a trophy; who would argue against that? I don't think anyone would argue that level racing is more fun when you can visually see how you're doing, but the realities are as Mark said, with more splintering of a limited number of racers into different boats, we may have no option but to go handicap racing.
