Handicaps for fleet racing
HCYC PY Numbers for 2025
These are the handicaps based in 2025 RYA PNs. Club specific variations may be applied during the season, spinnaker boats that have an RYA PY are typically granted 2% uplift as flying the spinnaker at HCYC is unlikely to give an advantage other than as amusement for the audience and is very much encouraged!
If your boat is not listed, please refer to the RYA PY numbers, or your class association. Boats that are rated with a spinnaker or asymmetric sail are assumed to gain no advantage and so may use the club PYs even if they do carry and use the extra sails.
