Racing - Comparative Yardsticks and Timings

Post by AFG » Thu May 07, 2009 9:31 am

Hugh and I have decided to indulge in a little lightweight pre-beer 'n chips racing on Thursday nights at Rutland Sailing Club.

I've seen the various discussions on the forum about Portsmouth Numbers or Yardsticks. So just in case anyone is interested, here's a small table showing how far ahead or behind in a 1 hour race a Swift 18 has to be to beat a few popular cruiser racers.

Cheers,

Tony
