Yachting Australia has released the Australian Trailable Yacht and Sports Boat Rule, which includes the new Yachting Australia national CBH Listing
The objective of Yachting Australia's Australian Trailable Yacht and Sports Boat Rule is to provide a National Class Based Handicap system for even and fair racing on handicap in a mixed fleet of trailable yachts and/or sports boats. This should result in racing success being primarily determined by the skills of the crew.
The rule uses Class Based Handicaps to rate trailable yachts and sports boats. Key measurements are taken from the class and the formulated CBH is applied evenly to all boats of that class. New classes, or classes that have not submitted an application for a CBH can be provided a provisional CBH until their CBH is finalised.
Boats that have been modified and are no longer class compliant can be handled on an individual basis by Yachting Australia
The YA rule’s CBH list includes something in the vicinity of 150 standard trailable yacht classes, 30 Sports Boat classes and a great many individually modified trailable or sports boats listed under the national YA CBH.
The Australian Trailable Yacht and Sports Boat Rule provides a basis for the conduct of national and state-level championship for trailable yachts and sports boats, as well as for club and other events.
