170 Portsmith rating

[Kevin B.]

Has anyone sailed their H-170 in a portsmith race, yet? The handicap numbers for the H170 are within a tenth of a point to a JY-15. We have a small fleet of JY's here in Memphis. I have not had any luck matching their speed or their pointing ability. I was wondering how others had faired with this rating in other handicap race situations.

ya I personally think they need a higher rating I agree with your thinking, dont quite point as high as they should.
