Other simple rules have been spoiled by “rule beaters”. How can a cheap and simple system also be accurate and fair across the fleet?
Any handicapping system is a practical compromise struck between producing the most accurate time allowances for all boats on the one hand and, on the other hand, minimising cost and complication of doing so. However, like any developing technology (e.g., computers), over the years quality improves and costs go down. In the case of rating systems, this means that for the same cost, there can today be fewer compromises in quality. This is the case with ORC Club. For the same low cost, yachts can be raced on a level playing field with fewer owners “buying” their trophies with rule beaters and conversely, fewer owners never having a chance at placing in the top three. For the same low cost, new designs (for which local handicappers have no experience) can enter the racing fleet and be given handicaps which are as fair and accurate at the outset as those for the older designs which have been observed for years. ORC Club is engineered and crafted with a simple, familiar “user interface”, no
