Hi Keith,

What is the purpose of the Rating Estimator, what does it do and
how may it be applied?

It was added so that a reasonable rating could be provided for a new class
with an unknown rating. i.e. Guess a rating initially, sail a few races
then run the estimator to get a value based on their actual performance;
keep running the estimator as a series progresses to get more accurate
values and update the boats' rating each time; their final series score
should be reasonable. The calculation is as per YR2.

I've used it to do PY returns as well, it's a bit painful but it can be
done. i.e. run the rating for each class and each series and average (or
something similar) the results across series. Then normalise to some
primary PN like a Laser.

Regards,
Colin
