Race08 Handicaps

The usual fine tuning of handicaps has taken place for Race08, and the table below gives the handicaps relative to Sheer Force, calculated in minutes from the time correction factors, assuming the race duration of 60 minutes.

*8001 PANTHER -17.868
*6095 UPLIFT -13.956
*6900 X3 -12.666
*6175 LOVE BYTE -10.134
6155 GETAWAY SAILING.COM -10.110
*8301 CADENZA -9.972
2999 OBSESSION -9.444
*5382 TOCCATA -8.586
4970 AKELA -5.496
*2020 SPEARHEAD -4.818
*7404 CHANCELLOR -4.278
*KA400 SCARLETT O'HARA -4.224
*6279 SUMMERSALT -3.120
*6472 SYMBIOSIS -2.958
*8004 DJ2 BOS GLOBAL -2.838
*4208 FARR LAP -2.748
*80808 PANACEA -2.364
*6182 SUNDOWNER V -0.330
4037 SHEER FORCE 0.000
*316 ANTHANTA VI 0.210
*MH304 DISTRACTION 0.648
*5665 AMON RA 0.648
*MH163 CHLOE III 0.846

Our peer group (yachts expected to finish within 2 minutes of Sheer Force) consists of 4 yachts we have to be ahead of (Anthanta, Distraction, Amon Ra and Chloe) and one (Sundowner) we can be very close behind and still beat on handicap.

In races to date, Sheer Force has needed to be 2 to 7 minutes faster to have won on handicap. This means we have to be amongst Scarlett O'Hara and near Akela to be a chance for gold.
