TEST EXAMPLE RESULTS:

The UK Fleet Handicap system should encourage people to join in with older cheaper boats such as
Hobie Tiger can be bought from £500-£2000, more competitive boats like the Nacra Mk2 around £2000-£5500, Competitive second hand readily available Australia Edge boats around £13k-£19k, New Boats are circa £28000
Its easy to add the newer Deck sweeper mainsails to these older boats too. List of boats here
If you need to apply for an older Handicap or for a boat not listed please contact simonfarren@hotmail.com.
So please get into the fleet and come racing, if you start well, and sail well we will notice and make sure these handicaps give everyone a chance at some silverware.
