Handicap Calculation

With reference to the Boat handicaps selection.
If you want to add your data to improve our database
(as more/better data can amend a boat's handicap)
or you want a specific boat/class handicap then:-

Complete and send this form to obtain a FREE
handicap calculation using the computerised
formula and curve matching to RYA PN values
(for a priority service - see at the bottom).

Don't be 'put off' by all the questions!
        We list here a selection of several hundred but we have data on several thousand different boat classes; many of these have numerous variations that effect a boat's handicap. It's often just the options/differences from the base class that we need to be told, as probably we know most of the main detail already. However, the more accurate and complete the information supplied  then the more accurate the resulting boat handicap will be.

If you have other information that could influence the boat's performance then just add it to the Notes section. The boat's handicap is returned in an email along with all the data you provide, if a 'copy to' address is provided then the email is sent to both addresses. Presenting this email to a race organisor allows your boat's declared configuration to be clearly seen, many check the information declared for those who are race/prize winners and may penalise if incomplete/incorrect, so better to be safe than sorry ...
 
A number of race organisors/clubs prefer an email direct from ourselves to assure originality, just enter their email in the 'copy to' field; if you already have a handicap email and there's no data changes then you can return it for verification, just add a note with the 'copyto' email address. Confirmation emails along with a small contribution get priority treatment.
 
Clicking on the above 'Send Data' button submits your handicap request to our 'free list', after which, a confirmation page is shown which also provides you with the opportunity to make a donation. Please consider using PayPal and send several £s each which will help us fund this work/site in the future and ensures that your request form is prioritised.
