Comparing Ratings Files

Thanks for your advice guys, manually changed the PYs and applied them to our club’s combined summer series.

Overall the changes have been smaller than I imagined except at the top of the fleet where the Lasers where the obvious beneficiaries.

The sailjuice results are attached, if anyone is interested, and the standard PY results to compare with are at…

Glad you got it sorter, but crikey! Have just looked at the published handicaps - clearly produced by a Laser sailor :wink: (I know it’s on flat water, but even so…).

<hobby_horse> Why change the handicap of the most widely sailed boat in the UK (and world, probably) other than it saves changing lots of the other classes?</hobby_horse>

Mike, that was exactly our view, so we amended that (Laser) to 1100, then looked at the disappointing relative performance of the RS400 and 200, so amended those to 970 and 1070

Attached is the adjusted results sheet that can be compared to http://www.burghfieldsailing.org/content/results/show.php?page=2011_sun_com_su_pm.htm

Feel that these are a better results which better reflect individual fleet performances

Hasn’t that hurt the Toppers and the Fevas?

That was kind of my point (not to mention Laser 2, and any other boat that doesn’t do too well on flat water) - does anyone know where the SailJuice handicaps originated?
