says:-

4 VARIATIONS FROM BASE RIG
4.1 Where a cruiser does not conform to Base Rig for its class or type,
allowances up to the following maxima may be applied on a trial
basis:
Boat with all headsails smaller than Base Rig +40
Boat with no spinnaker +40
Boat with mainsail other than Bermudan +20
Boat with cruising chute and no spinnaker +20
Boat with all spinnakers smaller than Base Rig +20

However there is nothing to stop a club altering any handicap for any
reason so it is not unreasonable for a club to alter a handicap for no
spinnaker or for single handed sailing. However normally the guidance
for different rig configurations in Dinghy's would come from the class
association.

Thanks Ralph, Good idea to create a seperate class.

John, Where does it say this is not for Dinghies? I have been to a few
races
where they have used it for Dinghies, and if they are not supposed to

I

would like to point it out to them.

Terry
