WHYW Handicaps
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2025 11:26 am
This year, the West Highland Yachting Week (WHYW) committee introduced the YTC handicap system, ( https://rorcrating.com/ryaytc) rather than the historically used CYCA system ( http://www.cyca-online.org.uk/handicaps.asp)
to the committee's credit, and as they said they would, they have now published a comparison of results using both handicaps:

for all the huffing and puffing, there is surprisingly little difference in the overall results for the series.
interested to hear thoughts and comments but more importantly, does the handicap system used impact enthusiasm for entering events like WHYW?
