Race13 Handicaps

RANSA's updating of the handicap time correction factors (TCF) has, after our middling performance in Race12, eased our factor just slightly. The chart shows how our TCF has generally been easing throughout the series, but it must be remembered that these adjustments are minor, and the full spread of our TCFs only represents one whole minute when converted to times.

Sailors with Disabilities remains the scratch yacht, but she hasn't raced yet. Panther is the effective scratch, expected to finish almost 18mins ahead of Sheer Force.

**7878 SAILORS WITH DISABILITIES -19.968
*8001 PANTHER -17.760
*6095 UPLIFT -14.028
*6900 X3 -12.294
2999 OBSESSION -10.422

*316 ANTHANTA VI -0.168
4037 SHEER FORCE 0.000
*MH304 DISTRACTION 0.576
*5665 AMON RA 1.734

The yachts that the handicapper expects us to finish with are from Panacea to Amon Ra in the above table, but to gain corrected time prizes, and to climb up the pointscores ladders, we have to be amongst Symbiosis, Farr Lap, Summersalt and Bos Global.
