I agree with comments above about struggling to sail to handicap single handed. It is one of the areas where the rating rule does fall down; I think the penalty of just removinmg 75kg from the calculation is just too much (in the case of sailing the Inter 17 1 vs 2 up.

Maybe the rule should be changed to use a single handed at 100KG (or something else that makes sence) and 2 up at 150KG (no change).

John, do you have the rating sheet for the F16 / stealth to have a play with. If the data on the water supports the 102(singlehanded)/102(2 up) handicap, it would be interesting to see how many KG you would need to add to get SCHRS to spit out 102/102.
