I think I may have asked this before but I can't find it; apologies if so.

The ISAF SCHRS ratings for F16 and F16 cat rigged are 1.02 and 0.98; I thought the idea was that they were the same(*) and presumably this is what you find in 'real life' (same-ish)...? If so, which is the more realistic when racing single-handed against other boats; 1.02 or 0.98... The reason I ask is we're updating our ratings file and have a single handed F16. He will be racing against F18, Tornado and A and we are all of similar ability. I have a feeling that 0.98 (in fact 0.99 - it's an R with a F16 main) is not going to go down too well :-) anybody got any feelings about it...?

(*) I realise they can't be the same under all rating systems - but this seems a big difference...
