I was thinking about a rating system and working on some equations. I think it should include a strait elapsed time handicap based on empirical data for average crew age (i.e. 13 year olds might get a .5 multiplier) all the way up to 17 year olds.

There should be 2 sail areas based on weight.

There should be corrector weights for lighter sailors in the open division (not kids less than 18). They should be easily removable for recreational sailing.

I would also like to see the women have less strict corrector weight rules.

Again, we can refine the rules based on empirical data.

The weights should be able to be put anywhere on the beams. They just must be able to be removed quickly.
