Clyde listings and secondarily from the less comprehensive Byron or
RYA listings. Comparisons with all three listings are taken into
account and adjustments applied where it can be justified or
appropriate. |
|
|
|
Allowances
to alter a quoted handicap number from an above listings, in order
to match a given WSBA boat configuration, will be made in accordance
with the allowances below. Where the designated club handicap does
not reflect the performance of a particular type of boat (excluding
crew skill factor) further adjustment may be made at the discretion
of the Race Committee. |
