The following is the inclusion into the Handicappers Manual for 2024:

This is preliminary and ongoing changes may be made.

Handicappers Manual Part II

7. Point to Point (P2P) Time Correction Factor (TCF)

A FS-P2P & NFS-P2P Time Correction Factor (TCF) will be calculated for every Certificate.

7.1. The P2P-TCF shall apply for any courses that are longer than 6 nautical mile that are of the random leg variety (marks are not adjustable to a true windward leeward Course.)

7.2 The P2P Offset will be “class” based using the Jim Teeters GPH-WL8, modified for crew weight. (Ref: PHRF-LO Appendage Pg 12)

7.3 Any applicable Centerline Credit (2.5) will be subtracted.

7.4 The P2P-TCF will be calculated as follows:

FS-P2P = 650/(550 + (ASP – Centerline Credit +/- P2P Offset))

NFS-P2P = (650/(550 +(ASP +/- P2P Offset))


Handicappers Manual Appendage:

Jim Teeters VPP for Calculating the NFS-Delta and the P2P Offset

PHRF-LO Point to Point Offset – P2P-Offset

 The value of a Class “Point to Point” offset shall be derived using the difference between the Jim Teeters WL10 less GPH, with a modified Crew weight value**.

W/L10= -31.96965 + 29.910569 x sadnratio + -1015.2 x DLR-1+ 259388.97 x DLR-2 + -0.005597 x SadnDisp2

GPH= -24.2535 + 33.67219 x sadnratio + -431.522 x DLR-1+92703 x DLR-2 + -0.00386 x SadnDisp2

DLR = Sailing Displacement / 2240 / (0.01*LWL)3

Sadnratio = (Amain+Aspinn) / (Amain+Agenoa)

SadnDisp = (Amain+Aspinn) / (Sailing Displacement / 64)2/3

Amain = (P/8)*(2*E + 3*(0.65*E) + (2*0.38*E) + (0.04*E or 0.5{whichever is greater}))

Agenoa = 0.5 * 1.55 * J * Sqrt(I2 + J2 )

Aspinn = 1.8 * 0.79 * JSP * Sqrt(ISP2 + JSP2)

Sailing Displacement = Displacement + Crew weight from Table
