[quote=JohnES][quote=onekiwi]I looked at the results myself and noticed that about the first 4 in B fleet beat the first 3 in A fleet ?? with the diverse boats and some pie in the sky DP-N numbers we may need some more classes to cope with the #'s and boat spread.
We had a great time racing as usual this year with an almost out of control dash on part of the way back!!! With the doldrums on the back of Anacapa it turns the race into a 20 mile dash![/quote]
Carl....
Glad you and your clan had a good time... I am really regretting missing it this year... but duty calls and that duty pays the bills around here..
There is a solution to the out of date DP-N system and it is the SCHRS system... http://www.schrs.com/ratings.php
These ratings are using more recent data points, that are more current than the Porstmouth DP-N.
I am going to plug in the times and the ratings and see where things punch out and maybe we as a group should consider moving over to this. The only problem is even though this system allows for modification, this entails a measurement.. therefore these ratings are for a stock boat with class legal equipment. Maybe we should look to have an open class too.... no rating, race what you bring with what ever equipement is on the boat, and first over the line wins...[/quote]
