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.
