Hi
I've recently seen a post from Mark Townsend which defines fleets,
division and flights like this:
Fleet � A group of boats that will sail and be scor ed together, they
can be a one design class, or different boats using a handicap or rating
system. Portsmouth , PHRF, or IRC would be a fleet made up of several
different classes of boats using a handicap or rating system. Conversely
Naples Sabots, or Optimists may be broken up into several different
fleets, A�s, B�s, C�s etc. flights, Blue, Yellow, Purple, etc. or
Divisions, Men and Women.
Class � The type of boat all carrying the same class insignia per rule
G1.1(a). Farr 40, 49er, Snipe, Cal 20, Naples Sabot, Optimist, etc.
Division � Generally us ed to further divides fleets. For example,
Olympic 470 Men and Women often sail in a combined fleet, and are scored
combined, with the division indicating Men and Women.
Flights � A flight is a competitor attribute that changes on a per race
basis, and who is sailing who can change each race.

So here's my scenario. I have a three (what club calls fleets) which
start on the same start time. [We have other 'fleets' going at
different times but I don't think they can count in the same series at all.
So we have Toppers, Oppi's and Mirrors all going together plus any other
PY handicap boat that wants to.
I have been collating ALL those results together as a handicap result.
So in other words If you are a topper you should get a 'fleet' result
and a handicap result from the same race. Up till now I've only been
collating for handicap but clearly as I'm entering the results it may be
easy to tick a box some palce and pull the 'fleet' results off for
someone too...
So I tried setting the fleets up. When I run a score on it I now get
each fleet divided up which is what I want. But to get a score for the
handicap boats I have to set their fleet as handicap which is fine, but
then the Oppi's etc don't get grouped in to the fleet. Are they
something else? A division? A Flight?
Secondly - our SIs say that a race is only a race if there are two or
more boats racing. So if there is 1 topper and 1 mirror race then the
race is a race for handicap result but not for the fleet result... am I
missing anyway to set a rule for that?
Many thanks
