Fairer Racing = Higher Participation


 

Coming up this Tuesday evening, the organisers of the SeldΓ©n Sailjuice Winter Series are running a Zoom meeting to explore the future of handicap racing, and how advances in technology can be used more widely to create a more attractive playing field for fair racing on the water...


Would you like to see more boats on the start line? Whether you're racing at your club or in open meetings, most of us like to see bigger numbers on the water.


Maximising participation remains one of the biggest challenges for most racing fleets. After strong turnouts at the recently completed Selden Sailjuice Winter Series, co-organisers Simon Lovesey and Andy Rice are hosting a special meeting on Zoom this Tuesday, 26 March. Taking place from 1930 hours GMT, this meeting has a special focus on handicapping and how it can be used to encourage fairer racing and greater participation.


Expert guests on the call include:


Adam Parry from the RYA, who will be talking about PYS analysis, the ability to link club data, and use of new class lists for accurate data collection and reporting


Andrew Craig from Queen Mary Sailing Club, and the chairman and founder of the Great Lakes Handicap Committee which was formed a decade ago to come up with a fair set of PY numbers for the Selden Sailjuice Winter Series.


We look forward to seeing you on the call and to hear your views."
