Key - description:-
ByCN: Class portsmouth handicap Numbers are
quoted for an upper quartile version rather than the Class
median version. In general terms that means, handicaps refer to the
larger polyester type headsail and full sized spinnaker version
rather than the often more popular vessels with cruising or builder
supplied sails. Clubs may need to adjust a 'Byron Class Number' to suit local
conditions, of course reasons should be declared (ie tidal/course
skew factor).
