Many participants in the locally organised regattas first enter without an official HKPN handicap. Moreover, initial HKPNs are often unrealistically harsh and take months to adjust. So we have decided that a DBPN adjustment will be used where necessary to provide ‘a more level playing field’ for most DBYC events.
The DBPNs may be re-calculated after each race, but will never be of a magnitude that would have altered the final positions in that event, or normally be greater than 1% of the existing handicap. In this way, it is hoped that a broader variety of boats and experience levels will take part (and the prizes) and all crews will be encouraged to try harder for a better time. An overview of the procedures adopted by the DBYC Handicapping Committee to set and adjust DBPNs is described on the web page titled DBPN Handicap Adjustments.
Skippers are still encouraged to apply for a formal HKPN, which will be required for participation in races organized by other HKSF-affiliated clubs.
The following DBPN adjustments will be used for boats participating in the next DBYC event:
