It is in the RYA guidelines but for Cruisers not Dinghy's. However there
are other things there as well so why just spinnaker? They also cover
things like inboard, outboard, 2,3,folding propellers and
Fin/bilge/triple keels. The normal PY is given for a particular
configuration and then that can be altered for by adding or subtracting
numbers based on the difference in configuration.

Subject: RE: [sailwave] SpinnakerHi Terry
Not sure which member of the RYA gave you this advice but to my
knowledge,
it is not a 'rule' issued
by the PY advisory Group. All I can think of is that they gave you a
differential for a specific
class of boat, not a general rule across all classes.The method to use is to ascertain the PY for with & without kite then
enter them as two different
class types in the ratings list.It is also quite rare for a dinghy to be issued with two PYs as the
system
relies upon clubs sending
in returns for the two configurations. If you come across this problem
regularly, you will probably
need to calculate your own club PY when a kite is not being used.Regards

Subject: [sailwave] SpinnakerWhen entering boat type, could a check box be added for "Spinnaker".
If a
boat does not carry a Spinnaker, according RYA PY, she gets 40 added
to
her
PY.That said however, a boat like a Enterprise does not carry a spinnaker
ever,
so if this box is unchecked on entry, she should not get the 40 point
advantage.Would also be handy if a column could be added to results to show
which
boats entered the series declaring a spinnaker.
