October 2004 HCANA News thebluepartisthewater Looking Back on Three Years of Success Our class bylaws have three–year term limitation and I have reached that limit. Looking back, I think we have accomplished a lot. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people I have worked HOBIE CLASS NEWS with for their hard work and dedication. The official publication of the Hobie When I took on this role, I had a pretty good idea of what I was Class Association of North America getting into with the exception of one thing — the amount of writing SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER 2004 involved. I would usually sit down at the computer with the deadline looming being VOLUME 14, NUMBER 3 unsure what I was going to say.

We have also reaffirmed our partnership with the Hobie Cat Company and I believe we are all now seeing the benefits. The company is supporting us more than ever and consequently, boat HCA News Staff sales are up — way up. Editor Contributors Matt Bounds Marie Appel Finally, I would like to comment on what I see as two of our biggest hurdles remaining. Mimi Appel Cover David Brookes The first is what I'll call “class member apathy.” A prime example is our class voting Matt Miller Hobie Cat USA record. We have done a number of general membership votes where every single paid Hobie Cat USA Paul lKrutty Julie Lenczycki member is invited to vote. Yet we typically are lucky to get a 5% response rate. On big Rich McVeigh Review issues like rule changes to the Hobie 16, I would think everyone has an opinion, yet very Committee Bob Merrick Theresa White Matt Miller few members chose to vote.

We Gillian Thompson Paul Ulibarri Theresa White have a very dedicated core group of sailors in the class, many of whom have been sailing Hobie Cats for many years, yet only a very small number of people seem to be willing to Hobie Class News is the official publication of the Hobie take the time to get involved.

  • Historical Portsmouth Number List
    Historical Portsmouth Number List The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the average performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. The numbers in the PN list may not reflect the peak performance of each boat. Historical numbers are listed below and have been collated from the RYA's archive of PN lists. It should be remembered that the Portsmouth Yardstick number list has been through a number of changes and the numbers listed below have had conversion factors applied where needed. It should also be remembered that whilst all efforts are taken for PN's not to drift, relative performance of older boats may be quite different to modern classes. The numbers are given as a starting point to help clubs arrive at a fair number and if these numbers are used then they should be reviewed regularly. Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only.

  • Attachment B North American Portsmouth Yardstick
    Attachment B North American Portsmouth Yardstick “The North American Portsmouth Yardstick is an empirical handicapping system meant to provide equitable scoring of race results for different boats sailing the same course.” As quoted from the US Sailing Portsmouth Handbook. While the theory, methodology and application of the handicapping system can be quite complicated, the only thing we at BYSC need to be concerned with for the 2020 Fall Dinghy Series is the handicap factor assigned to each class of participating boats and how the Corrected Times are calculated. All boat classes have a pre-calculated handicap know as a DPN. Examples are: • Lightning 87.0 • Snipe 91.9 • Y Flyer 86.7 Corrected times are calculated from: (ET/DPN) X 100 = CT Where ET is elapsed time (start to finish) DPN is the pre-calculated handicap CT is the corrected time A corrected time example for a Lightning that finished a race in 31 minutes is: (31/87.0) X 100 = 35.63 minutes, or 35 minutes 38 seconds A Snipe finishing in 32 minutes would be: (32/91.9) X 100 = 34.82 minutes or 34 minutes 49 seconds A Y Flyer finishing in 32 minutes would be: (32/86.7) X 100 = 36.91 minutes or 36 minutes 55 seconds As you can see from the above, the Snipe would finish first based on the corrected time despite having a longer elapsed time. The Lightning would finish second despite the fastest elapsed time and the Y Flyer would finish third. Finish times will be recorded to the second.
