I was looking for VPP's and Polars and ran into this:
http://www.scora.org/amcaptavar.pdf This shows how ratings should be adjusted for light and heavy air, using the new Americap system. PHRF is assumed accurate at 11 knots, and adjustments calculated for 6 and 20 knots are shown in the last columns. The two examples explained are an Alberg 35, which needs a big boost in light air and a reduced handicap in heavy, while the J-125 is the opposite, deserving less handicap in light and more in heavy. For the 35s5, a large 24 sec/mile additional handicap is needed to help it keep up with the fleet in light air, while it only out performs by 7 seconds in heavy. Perhaps this wasn't the best choice for light air. |
