[quote=texastuma]Each have their benefits. I like Yardstick because of the wind range ratings. Single point ratings do not work well with boats of big speed differentials. Think about comparing a floater and a foiler. With a single point, one of them will get hosed in a wind range. I prefer the concept of SCHRS, but not a fan of single point. I have switched my Wednesday Night Races to Yardstick from PHRF because of the multiple ratings. But, we have a provision to adjust ratings as we (RC) see fit in the SIs. It takes the organizations to submit ratings and US Sailing to adjust the performance. It is a lot of work. But, to make racing fair, that is what it takes. If the group of boats racing are very close in rating band, either system works well. It's when you have a Nacra 6.0 racing against a Hobie 16 that makes the ratings tough. But, that is what we have.[/quote]
