Im responsible for scoring our yacht clubs yearly regatta. We recently had a new member join that owns a H26 water ballast trailer sailor. Over the past months, we have been sailing together on Lake Okeechobee and it is very apparent that this boat is quite a bit quicker than my H27 in most conditions. We recently held a practice race to prepare for our upcoming regatta. We use the Portsmouth system to score. I was amazed to find that the H26 has a D-PN handicap 0f 92. My boat has a handicap of 93.9, and to give a third comparison a Catalina 27 with an inboard is rated at 90. I belive someone was smoking crack when they rated this boat. There is no way possible that this boat should be rated this high. It surely should not be rated higher than the Catalina and shouldn't be so close to my boat either. Has anyone had any experience handicaping this boat? Maybe a H26 owner that races could reply to shed some light on this cloudy situation. Thanks in advance for any help. B.Sherman Commodore,PYC
