One of the by-products of the Personal Handicap Series is that we can get a good idea of how we all sailed over the course of a year via the calculated personal handicap numbers - lets say over 40-80 races for most of us. It makes pretty interesting reading. The handicap numbers, not unlike a golfing handicap, are directly proportional. So a team with a personal handicap of 1010 is 1% slower than a team with a handicap of 1000. Mark and Tony are our "scratch" team and everyone is measured relative to them. Unfortunately for these purposes, the normal discard rules apply. So if you turn out for less than half the races, you start to get pushed down the league table.
Based on the entire 2009-2010 data, here's the Fleet Rankings :-
1 - 1028 - Mark and Tony
2 - 1038 - Mike and Phil
3 - 1039 - Richard and Howard
4 - 1043 - Dominic and David
5 - 1055 - Andy and Nadia
6 - 1060 - Andy and Bob
7 - 1065 - Adam and Emma
8 - 1068 - John and Helen
9 - 1134 - Roger and Janet
Looks like a Firth Family Clean Up !!!
