I recently updated my ratings library with the 2002 Portsmouth
handicaps. The handicaps for all the boats in my data base retained
the 2001 numbers & I can't figure out how to make them update to the
2002 numbers. If I add a new competitor, they receive the 2002
numbers. Do I need to reload all of the boats in my data base? I have
about 100 boats in it. Any ideas?

Sailwaves ratings.txt does not retrospectively update any existing ratings. Otherwise a series scored in 2001 could produce a different result when rescored in 2002. (I think Colin is working on having an option to use 'new' or 'existing' ratings when a series is scored). For the moment you don't have to change all 100 entrants but you do have to change 1 entrant for every class of boat sailed. Goto 'edit' 'edit all competitors' highlight 'all competitors with this class' scroll to class being changed, highlight 'set default ratings to' enter the new PY number, click 'OK' and repeat until each class has been catered for.
Out of the 100s of boats in the ratings.txt only a few will be sailed at your club and only a few of these will have changed their h'cap so if your lucky you'll probably only need to change a couple of classes each year. (Any new classes added later will, as you say, pick up the new rating).

Hope this helps
