Following on from your extremely helpful responses to this year’s questionnaire, and having discussed handicapping in detail at our recent committee meeting, it is likely that we will change away from CYCA for WHYW 2025. The application for a YTC handicap is straightforward, but does require measurement of sails.







Our aim is to let you know about this proposal as early as possible, so that you have plenty of time to arrange sail measurements. If you have any queries or require assistance, please let us know.







Please also be assured that there has been no fall out with CYCA – we very much appreciate the effort which goes into running this, our local system, and a system which has served us well for many years. The above proposed change is a trial, but in the interests of trying to run as good a regatta as possible, we feel that a change at this time is appropriate.
