COMPETITORS INFORMATION
1. WSCRA HANDICAPS
The system is in essence a
performance related handicap, and consequently is transparent to all
competitors.
1a. After establishing the initial
handicap based on current data and archive records for all competing
boats, frequent adjustments will be made in the light of race results
Fluctuations to a boat’s handicap may vary as much as 5% in the early
stages, and a finite handicap is expected to evolve as the series of
races progresses.
1b.To help the new handicapper
establish your first handicap I would appreciate it if you could fill
out the attached measurement form, highlighting in detail any changes
made to the boat and sails from the 2006 data.
Please also state on the form your
preference: - Class 1. IRC TCF or Class 2. Handicap.

3.WSCRA WEB SITE
www.wscra.co.uk
A simple web site is
being developed to provide a single point of reference for all
competitors. In the initial stages the information will be limited to
Results and future events, but it is hoped to widen the scope of the
site, as demand requires.
The success of this web
site will depend on receiving accurate and speedy results info from
the race officers from the race-organizing club!
It is also hoped that
our three clubs will be able to organize a link to the WSCRA site from
their on going club web sites.
