Reply to: Budget sails for Nacra F20C

Message body

[quote=dssaak][quote=samc99us]If you are racing handicap and your local fleet approves I don't see a need to stick with Performance Sails / Racing on handicap is subject to getting beaten by slower boats when the breeze comes up later in the afternoon / If you want to race fairly, race one design. The F18 is good for that.[/quote]

You don't need to stick with performance sails as long as your local handicapper is willing to adjust your personal rating accordingly.  I was looking at the SCHRS calculator and I don't see an adjustment for sail material.

No getting around the different wind for different boats on different parts of the course.  As long as the fleet isn't too different speed wise boat to boat, try ToD rather than ToT.

One can race fairly across a diverse fleet of boats.  It is hard work for the rating committee but can be done ... we do it.  If you say that you want to race with as little complexity as possible, then, yes, racing one design does it.  First across the line wins.  It is an interesting concept for us handicap racers.[/quote]
