We're planning to enter one of our club's cruiser races, as we quite like the comfort factor over racing our dinghy. However, obviously we need some sort of PY number in order to compete.
Although there are many other 6 ton Hillyards around and about, it's highly unlikely that any are the same as Ruthie. We have different hull shape and rig plan to any I've seen so far.
Is there a source for PY numbers, beyond the obvious dinghy ones, or is there a way to calculate your own PY number. I assume they are found by a number of timed runs over a set distance in competition with a boat with a known PY, but has anyone any more details.
If not, we'll take part anyway and try to blag the best advantage we can... Everyone knows these old wooden Hillyards are as slow as anything!
Any help or advice would be fantstic, thank you. Jess.
