RYA & Pursuit Times

PY Numbers (2024 Season)

The RYA administers two handicapping systems used in the UK allowing different class of boats to compete against each other.

In 2024 PSCC moved from the Portsmouth Yardstick to the RYA YTC system - https://rorcrating.com/ryaytc/ryaytclistings/

Update July 2024:  Orkan and PJ 2 have had their handicap improved (second figure in the table). The race committee will continue to look at the fleets results over the remainder of the season and will make adjustments to vessels handicaps where considered necessary

2024 Season Pursuit Start Times (at the start of the season)

Calculated version on spreadsheet:
List all classes that are going to race in the class column with the slowest (Class with largest PN) first working to the fastest class. Next enter the relevant PN's in the PN column. Finally enter the race duration in minutes where highlighted in red. from here the differences in seconds will be given. These tell how much time after the first class each class must start. A club may choose to apply the difference from the "scratch" boat in either seconds or minutes.
