one thing thats a bit confusing.. the mosquito has had a reliable handicap for several years now, one of only a few yachts in the YA database. yet instead of moving other boats around this, we leave boats with marginal data and move mosquitos around.. when you read the reason for the move in handicap for mossie with kites the data used is based on the F16 rule (e.g. 17.5 Sqm kite) yet the mossie is only 14 Sqm and no where has the sloop(kite) version been consistently faster than the cat at any regatta, the sloops (without kite) have proven to be a little faster in the upper wind range due to the extra weight. but based off nationals and states data this could be also wrong as the two fleets do not start at the same time. so any data relating to time taken would be misleading, unless clubs split the fleet and run courses suitable for boats with kites and another for the ones that don't I think that this handicap will create a few inconsistencies
