Introducing CBTYR - Class Based Trailable Yacht RATING - Presented by Greg Heins

Mixed fleet trailable racing relies on a fair handicapping system. This has traditionally been CBH. In 2019, Australian Sailing changed to a new CBH system that has lacked credibility. The CBTYR is an initiative championed by MTYC . It allows harmonisation of the traditional CBH handicaps for established trailable classes with ORC handicaps for new or modified boats.

If you want to know more MTYC extends open invitation to a presentation on Friday evening, 7th of August at the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron (RMYS)

The event is free but registrations are essential: https://mtyc.yachting.org.au/events/368948
