    Replying to:Brand New Rating System
    So, Australian Sailing has implemented a new measurement system for trailerable yachts. Most yachts that have a new rating (not many yet) have a marginally higher one, i.e. Castle 650 from 725 to 736, Nx25 from 725 to 731. The RL24 DK has stayed at 769, but the SK has jumped to a whopping 762 and they've added a new RL24 H .... heavier (min 900kg) cruising category. I did used to think that the old 41 base points difference between DK and SK was a lot, but my question to you guys that race a lot against each other, such as in the nationals is :- Was the old margin fairly close to the mark, and what do you think of the margin only being 7 base points now ... will the Nats be fair if you adopt that? Also do the DKs point noticeably better? I would imagine all that sloshing and drag from that big slot in the SKs would have to affect both speed and pointing more than the 7 points difference on offer
