Central Council News

During a review by Central Council of the status of the Sonar Class Association and a lack of current Certificate holders, it was decided to review all our listed One Design Classes (as per the Handicappers Manual Appendage)

Your Central Council of Handicappers reviewed the NFS-Delta changes for 2020.

Most classes will see a change to the NFS handicap, but on average, everyone in your fleet will have similar changes.

All Mainsail must be measured or be subject to a 3 sec/nm penalty.

Including missing Main Girth Top.

At the winter Central Council meeting, it was confirmed that we will now be implementing the penalty for "Unmeasured Mainsails" on certificates that are missing ANY mainsail measurements.

In 2018 Central Council implemented the penalty for Unmeasured Mainsails.

Handicappers can now request that a "Class" be added to the Alert Review done by Central Council at their February meeting.

Item 6 d) from February 2017

Alternate Method for Calculating the PHRF-LO Time Correction Factors

7/8 th measurement for Mains that are measured but only missing this value.

CHANGE HAS BEEN RESCINDED for 2018 racing season !

At the November 2016 Central Council meeting (Item 4b), a new mainsail formula was adopted to include the 7/8th (MGT) measurement.
