How Do I Change a Boats Handicap Mid Series?
During a long series, where scores are being attributed to the skipper rather that the boat, a skipper who changes boats may need to be scored using a different handicap in some races versus others.
Provided that you are scoring the series using a handicap rating system, such as Portsmouth yardstick, it is possible to change the handicap in the middle of a series, or to change the boat.
When the change of handicap occurs, go to Edit Result for that competitor and that race and select the Rating tab. Enter the new handicap in the bottom box Race Rating. If the rating change will remain in effect for multiple races, check the Use until the next race rating is specified box.

You should be aware that it is not clear from the printed results that a rating change occurred for that race. , Add a comment in the notes for the competitor, or put an indication in the Class something like Laser Standard / Laser Radial.

Subject: [sailwave] same skipper different boat?
Is it possible to score a skipper who sailed an FJ in one race and a Sweet 16 in a different race (in the same series) in such a way to allow both races to count towards qualification?
this currently a hypothetical question, but it is one that may come up in the near future in my club as we have a couple skippers with different boats that they want to sail.
