Hello,
Due to the number of inquiries as to scoring on Wayward Winds, I am going 
to respond via public post and send this across email as well.. The issue 
that I have received so many inquiries on.. is, Scott Tuma's rating on the 
P18-2. So let me address this now. His rating was derived from the table of 
DP-N modifications in the US sailing Portsmouth handbook along with the 
table of pre-calculated classes.. Keep in mind that once more than two 
modifiers are combined, the ratings become unstable. You can find that 
statement on page 19 of the handbook. (top of the page)

I had a long conversation with Nathan Titcomb Offshore Director for US 
Sailing. For those of you who do not know, the offshore department is where 
ratings are produced for sailboat races. I explained to him the situation 
and what I knew to be fact about the modifications to Frankenkitty. In his 
opinion, I applied the rating for Scott appropriately if not punitively. 

At Nathan Titcomb's recommendation, I am putting together a group of 
Certified Race Officials to fully measure Scott's boat. Not only is Scott 
willing to let us measure the boat, he welcomes it. He also stands by his 
offer to switch boats with anyone. I also plan on getting the folks over at 
SCHRS involved as well.

So now back to the scoring on Wayward Winds. So in preparation for this 
message. I re-scored the race and posted it to the sailwave results folder. 
I am also adding a screenshot because the sailwave site has been kinda 
fluky lately. This time I also added a larger jib modification as well. So 
here is how this works. DP-N 69.1 - JU .995 - MN .995 - BM .995 - L3 .974 = 
DP-N 66.29. This is one more modifier than what I told Nathan Titcomb 
about. 
.

THE FINAL STANDINGS REMAIN THE SAME EVEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL MODIFIER AND 
REDUCED DP-N. PERIOD
