You can find all the new PY at http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/Pages/portsmouthyardstick.aspx (for download).

Interesting to compare the number of returns under the "Races" column with a feel-factor for the number of Fleet-Boats.
Obviously the ubiquitous Laser in its different guises was always going to top the list, but the order is:-
(1^st) Laser Standard 49k
(2^nd; well-done them!) Solo 26k
(3^rd) Laser Radial 16k
(4^th) Topper 13k
(5^th) RS200 9k
(6^th) Phantom 9k
.... then RS400, Enterprise, Flying-15, Streaker, Wayfarer, Fireball .....
I reckon this makes a Phantom sit very highly ranked indeed for intensity of racing-interest.

The other thing that struck me generally was the actually large number of non-movers ?

As I've said before, I reckon that 1025 is an overall generally fair return, though I'd be very pleased to see a Club Veteran Yardstick of say, 1045 (agree with Andy Wilde on that).

.... Streaker has been affected cos that was miles out (IMHO of course!!)

Hey Coopster,
Don't knock it too much; can you imagine a Streaker holding its time say, in the lumpy stuff at sea ?
The PY is only an Average response to All available data; we do very nicely thanks inland on the flat, light stuff, but struggle more in windier and at sea; overall 1025 for us is probably about right,
...... and I've got to agree with the Streaker's PY (else its no supper for me .... !_! )
