Byron
Sailboat Handicap Rating Calculation
With reference to the Byron Class Number (ByCN) handicap listings: if you would like to send your data to help improve our knowledge base, as more/better data can amend a Class Number, and to get a specific boat handicap then complete the following form. It's basically a free service but if you want a priority response ByPN Rating then a donation is required.
Don't be 'put off' by all the questions!
Our ByCN web listings include a selection of several hundred boats, but we have data on several thousand different boat classes; many of these have numerous variations that effect a boat's handicap/rating.
It's often just the options and/or differences from the base class that we need to be told.
Rating delivery:-
After sending the form below, we complete the calculations and the boat's ByPN handicap rating is returned in an email format which includes your declared data. If a 'copy to' address is provided then the email is sent to both addresses.
Rating use:-
Presenting your ByPN email to a sailboat race organisor allows your boat's declared configuration to be clearly seen, many check this information for those who are race/prize winners and may penalise if incomplete/incorrect, so better to be safe than sorry ...
Open meeting Rating confirmation and renewals:-
A number of Open meeting race organisors/clubs prefer an email direct from ourselves to assure originality, just enter their email in the 'copy to' field; if you already have a current ByPN rating email then just add and send any changed data plus answer additional questions.
Renewal/confirmation emails along with a financial contribution get priority treatment.
Request Form submission:-
Clicking on the following 'Send Request' button submits your handicap rating request to our 'free list', after we receive your data a confirmation page is shown which also provides you with the opportunity to make a donation. Please use PayPal to help us fund this work and to ensure that your request form is prioritised.
