Just noticed - big congratulations to Jon and Char for wiping the floor and beating 138 other boats to win this prestigious race. More here ... http://www.hisc.co.uk/nupdate.asp

Yes well done, can't wait for next years handicap.....
Is this the start of the next generation AC - DB - Foiling?

Whilst a good result, and great PR, arguably this also needs a little bit of perspective.
The race is not run under the PY system exactly.  HISC do their own local PYs.  See here

What this suggests to me is that the N12 handicap given was a little favourable on the day.  We sailed there last year, as did Jo Richards and Sophie Mackley and did ok, but not as well as Jonno and Char.  I dont think the result of one race at Hayling will change our PY, but Simon, if you keep beating everyone at URYC it just might!

Perspective is a wonderful thing. Thanks for correcting me and I wouldn't mind that handicap in the crusader never mind a DCB.

We sail the D8 at RHYC off 1078, the DB boats use 1058.  The good thing is that this means we sail boat for boat against the Lasers, all it proves otherwise is that the Laser at 1078 is pretty harsh!

Last year at Fed Week we sailed off 1092. If only it were a Hayling event!!
At IBRSC we sail off 1078 and Lasers are 1088
